Tom's place is perfectly located in a quiet area, by the university. It's a short and pleasant 20min walk from the city centre and old town. Honestly, you won't have to go there often unless you're visiting the attractions. Right in front there's a park (The Meadows) to go for a run or, if you're feeling adventurous, you can try the hills in Holyrood Park as well. Then, go for a nice cup of coffee in the amazing cafes just around the corner or a beer at the local pubs. If you plan on working, the flat is very quiet and well lit.
