Having never booked an airbnb before and after looking through what seems like hundreds of airbnb places in Edinburgh, we chose Adrians place. We wanted to walking distance to all our needs, Restaurants, shops, castles ect, but not to close to noisy night life. Adrian place is located in residental neighborhood, up a few stairs that makes for great view. A nice well equiped house with full kitchen to produce some meals and good lounging area, for after our many hours on our feet. After spending 6 day's walking 3-6 miles a day. In evaluating locations to stay we could have not been happier with our spot.
The bus/ train station is a short walk and no problem with our luggage or better yet take a "london taxi " for $5.
A grocery store is right there and the first thing we did was " stock some provisions" but did'nt buy any milk, eggs, butter, or bread that's all waiting for you.
One of our favorite places was the closest, Worlds End, A Scottish pub on the Royal mile with a good mix of locals and visitors alike.
We were a party 3 my wife and daughter ,that made for lot's of space. With 3 bedrooms and beds for 5 it still seems fine if sharing one bathroom is ok.
