Sharon's Mews house is a great base for a trip to Edinburgh. It's approximately a 25 minute walk into the centre and the surrounding area feels safe. You are also close to the main road where you can catch numerous buses. Waitrose is a 5/10 minute walk away. The house is on a small street but we found parking to be easy and had no problem finding a space. The house is a good size for a family of 4 and we loved the different levels to the house.
