A lovely cosy basement garden apartment retreat on an historic street of Regency houses and renovated to a high standard. It is situated a short taxi ride (about 10 minutes) from the centre of Edinburgh and a 15 minute walk into the serene and peaceful Royal Botanical Gardens. After 2 weeks of touring Scotland the biggest plus was a washer and separate dryer that helped us catch up with laundry. Also in the bathroom, there is a separate switch exclusively for the heated towel rack. People contemplating a longer stay should be aware that the kitchen does not have a hob/stove or oven, but a microwave and single electric griddle. This did not pose a problem for us as breakfast could easily be cooked on this, and there are so many cafes restaurants locally including a M&S Express just across the street at the gas station, we managed. The pub at the end of the corner is also very good. The hosts live in the house above and although we had very few questions, were easily contactable and very helpful with any questions. Definitely recommend.
