This is a charming little flat in a great location — The Shore is a fun part of Leith with loads of great restaurants, cafés, and pubs along the waterfront. Easy walking distance to Aldi for shopping, the Royal Yacht (if that’s of interest), and the walkway along the Water of Leith. We were really happy that we ended up in this location and not the city center because it was really nice to get away from the tourist mobs and be in what felt like more of a real place. That said, there is a lot of construction going in as a new tramway is being built from the city center to Leith. The bus doesn’t always run into the city from The Shore, but it’s not sign-posted well. It’s not a far walk to Great Junction, where the buses have been rerouted, but the traffic is pretty bad because all the buses and cars are squeezed through the detour. If you are planning on going into the city a lot, just add a good 20-30 minutes on top of what Google Maps tells you — Ubers also take longer than usual because of the traffic. Although we had a few tight squeezes with timed tickets, we would absolutely stay here again! It’s very much as pictured on the site, and we slept well in the beds — the shower is fantastic! Such a great view of the water, and the kids loved climbing into the deep window ledges. We thought it was really great value for the price and Ian was very responsive. Two thumbs up overall.
