Lisa accommodated our late check in with ease. The guest house is very near the train station, a very short walk. Sofia, her helper, greeted us and kindly gave us the lay of the land (Lisa was on holiday herself). We found the apartment clean, roomy, and charming. Hot water temperature and pressure were no problem. We enjoyed coffee and toast for our breakfast at the guest house. Quite satisfactory. Sofia kindly printed our tickets for the castle and tour bus. The neighborhood is remarkable as is all of Edinburgh. As Lisa's guest house is in an old building, everything is built solid as a rock. Closing the front door with a slam disturbed no one, which I found amusing. My wife found the stairs to the apartment difficult as she has knee issues. The stairs to the upper floor are not long, but steep, curved with the bannister rail on the inside where the stairs are narrowest, making climbing them difficult if you have knee trouble. A rail on the outside would be helpful. Also, watch your shins going around the end of the bed. There is a wonderful Italian restaurant nearby, Martone, very affordable with award winning ice cream. We had a wonderful time and would certainly stay with LIsa again. We loved our stay in Edinburgh. Thanks Lisa!
