Helen's place is highly recommended. I was so close to the city 8 minutes by bus to Waverly Station and 4 min walk to Botanical Gardens. Neighborhood loaded with great cafes, restaurants and shops.
Helen, was an Awesome host. Her unique touches made the flat feel like home and you have total privacy too. Her decor was unique and her reading materials on Scotland can't be beat. Loved the Library too!
Your room is like a haven away from it all. Highly recommended checking out the tips on her page too. Lots of tasty eateries. Enjoy your stay!
