The house is situated in front of the the scenic Holyrood Park, where Arthur's Seat is located and near attractions like Palace of Holyroodhouse and Calton Hill. She has a lovely garden and there are horses in front of house. It's about 20 min bus ride to the city. However, it may not be suitable for those who enjoy the night life after 10pm. Nonetheless, we had an enjoyable stay and would recommend Hilary's place.
