If you're looking to stay in Edinburgh, we highly recommend renting Dawn's flat! We had an absolutely wonderful stay and would have stayed longer if we could have. Her basement flat is quite spacious and offers all the amenities of home. The bed is very comfortable which made it very difficult to get out of bed in the morning :) The flat is a short walk away from several pubs and coffee shops, so it was very easy to get a morning cup of coffee, or a delicious meal from a local pub (we frequented Bailies and highly recommend it). To get to the sites such as Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile, it took us about 15-20 minutes of walking- we didn’t hire a car so having the ability to walk everywhere was very important to us. That being said, it's a very hilly walk so if you're not up for that, you could hail a taxi quite easily. Lastly, while Dawn was away during our stay so we didn't get to meet her, she was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed prior to our stay. Thank you Dawn for making our stay in Edinburgh so enjoyable!
