Barbara's apartment is a sixth floor space in what looks like an up and coming part of the city. It is possible to walk from the property to the old
city of Edinburgh, but it is about two miles. We found it to be a great way to experience both the newer and the older part of the city. Bus and taxi were easy to access from the streets and some nice restaurants were within easy walking distance. We had no problem parking on the street or in the space provided.
