For a stay in Edinburgh this is ideal as it is walking distance to the old town or there are multitude of buses or taxis or food outlets (you really need to try the Chinese restaurant in the basement just around the corner) just minutes away.The hosts have made a real effort to make u feel at home with little things like providing the basics for breakfast , itwas realy special place to stay.The only downside was probably the stairs, which you would expect in the old town but then you have the benefit of being up in the light and warmth.
