I had a wonderful time with Mhairi. She is the best landlady I ever had! So open-hearted, interesting and creative. If you need some time to relax, I would definitely recommend her beautiful flat. It belongs to an aesthetic stone villa and is full of her gorgeous self-painted pictures. Your room is very tasteful furnished and the mattress is really comfortable. A further advantage: You have your own bathroom and the water pressure in the shower is perfect. Mhairi was always reachable and we had lot´s of nice talks. She gave me many useful tipps to discover edinburgh. Furthermore she provides breakfast for you with bagels, fruits and tea, which you can eat in her lovely conservatory. And than is there Hector, her sweet dog. I will definitely miss him. What else to say... The flat is located in a very calm and friendly area near the breathtaking botanical gardens. And it´s really not far to the centre. The bus station is directly in front of the door or you can go by foot across the botanical gardens and my favorite area of edinburgh, stockbridge, with it´s fantastic coffeeshops, restaurants and vintageshops. And from there it´s not far to dean village, which you can achieve over a picturesque path next to a small river... So final: First I wanted to stay only for three nights at Mhairis flat, but than I decided to stay there for a whole week... Because I felt at home!
