I rarely bother with reviews, but I would like to recommend Tracy's place. It was nice surprise. I booked with out thinking and was concerned that it was in an area I didn't know. Very clean and very tidy. Easy to get into town by bus or bicycle. Supermarkets nearby. I enjoyed chatting with Tracy in the evenings. Though not in the centre, the location is excellent. Very near to to the Water of Leith Visitor Centre. Pick up a map there. The walk or ride following the Water of Leith is really nice. I cycled to Leith and then the next day jogged to Balerno and back. It is a really good way to explore Edinburgh. Tracy's place is also near the Union Canal, also a good walk.
