We had a great couple of days at Marta's place. The flat is lovely, very clean, comfortable and well equipped with some nice original features. We walked everywhere - it is a good 20 minute walk to Princes St, and another 5 or 10 to the Grassmarket but you can go several ways and see different bits of the city each time. There are bars, restaurants and shops closer by, which was very convenient after a day's sightseeing with teenagers! Holyrood park is on the doorstep and you can go straight from there up the hill to Arthur's seat. Thankyou Marta, we would love to return.
