I dare say David's house is the best choice to stay in Edinburgh. It is not only close to city centre and easy to go to atteactions, but very quiet hidden from road so that I could feel I was at my own home. The room is quite exact to pictures(even more cosy). I was very welcoming when I arrived, and the feeling lasted for 4 days! David is a good storyteller with broad experiences, and he knows everything about the city- including the great places to visit.
