As we arrived late in the evening, Nell gave us a quick, but heartly welcome and showed us around in her very amazing apartment. More tips followed the next morning. Located on the edge of the "New Town", it has a very unique athmosphere and you can really imagine, how this whole quarter has been built as an unity in the 18th and 19th century.
The bed and the bedroom itself is not very large, but as you can use the huge sitting room as well, you have some space for your accomodation.
In the surroundings there are several nice restaurants and cafés, especially the very small Edinburgh gay area can be found in neighbouring Broughton Street. Be warned though, that the thing most tourists want to visit in Edinburgh, the Old Town and the Castle, is quite a walk away, about 20-30 min and most of it uphill. So if you are a bit lame on your feet (and you have not been warned by the 2nd floor - which didn't bother me as much), you might be looking for a place directly near the Old Town. For somebody who wants to discover the Georgian flair of the New Town, this is a perfect place to stay.
