Dee's apartment was such a treat! The flat itself was spacious and welcoming, with huge vaulted ceilings and beautiful natural light and large windows. Check in was very easy, and the apartment has wonderful access to public transportation (Lothian bus routes 23 and 27 both pick up right across the street, its about a 10 minute ride into city center, it runs until just after midnight, and you can get an unlimited day pass for 4 pounds!). This really helped us feel like we had the experience of living like locals in Edinburgh. There were nice little restaurants within 5 minutes walking, and Dee provides nice recommendations in her welcome binder. This is such a wonderful location for exploring Edinburgh and being close to the city center, without all the craziness of being downtown. (Final note - if you arrive by train and don't feel like figuring out public transportation in the area yet, you can take a cab from the Waverly Street Station for about 7 pounds.)

Highly recommend, and wish we could have stayed longer!
