Tim's place is an ideal base for exploring the city of Edinburgh and the surrounding Lothians. It is safe, modern, spacious and very comfortable.
Whilst not centrally located, the nearest bus stop (regular buses, 15 minutes to Princes St) is only a two-minute walk away. A Morrison's supermarket (8 mins walk) and a McDonalds (10 mins walk) can also be found nearby, as well as the Village Hotel's gym, grill restaurants and Starbucks coffee outlet (2 mins walk).
I loved the fact that the property was only a one-minute walk from the busy northern ring road, yet was tucked away down a safe, private cul-de-sac.
The property has a driveway (rare in Edinburgh) for two vehicles which gave us options and allowed us to use the car to drive to attractions on the periphery of the city. It also came in very handy when we did our large food shop at the nearby Morrison's.
With regards to our host, Tim was very welcoming and greeted us at the property. He gave us a tour of the building and told us how to use everything from the burglar alarm to the TV remotes. On arrival, we found fresh milk, tea, coffee and bread which was a very nice touch - especially after spending seven hours on the road.
Tim also recommended places to visit/avoid and recommended the 'EdinBus' app (which came in very handy). Tim's communication was excellent throughout. A BIG thanks again Tim!
All-in-all, we were very happy with our stay at Tim's place and would definitely return if/when we ever revisit Edinburgh.
Highly recommended.
