The location is exactly as discribed part of the countryside within the city. You will find greens with grazing horses, lovely gardens and old rural buildings as well as urban areas and restaurants near by.
A 30 - 40 minutes walk through the Holyroodpark gets you to Holyrood castle and to the historical center of the city.
The room is very nice and located to the east, so it catches the morning sun.
Hilary was a nice and friendly host. Also she was helpful, giving me any information I needed.
I felt very comfortable at her home an can highly recommand her place.
