Irene's place in Edinburgh was just as described, and more. It is perfectly situated for activities during my stay, i.e. at the International Conference Center and for the Edinburgh Film Festival. But it is not a far walk to Princes Street or Grassmarket either! Irene is a lovely, friendly host and a great communicator with helpful tips. The house is secluded in a wee pocket of green, and the room is clean and tastefully decorated. The whole place is just plain charming. Highly recommended!
