I can thoroughly recommend a stay at Eric's place. The location is brilliant. The rooms are full of light, and the view (from every room bar the bathroom) onto the beach is fantastic. It is right on the promenade and there are bars and cafés (and a very popular sea swimming club). It is a home rather than a 'styled' apartment and is all the more interesting for that. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and a good shower. And warm! It was easy to find on-street parking and the centre of Edinburgh is only 3 miles away. We loved it. You get a sense of Eric's generosity by the fact that he has a change jar that he suggests you might dip into - we didn't ;) I would definitely stay again.
