When we arrived at Aida’s flat and saw the view of Arthur’s Seat and Calton Hill, we knew we’d struck it lucky.
A choice of three buses within a two minute walk took us up to the town itself and it was only a 15 minute walk to Leith; the flat is so well positioned.
The flat is close to a junction and there is noise from the traffic, but it dies down at night. If you are a light sleeper, bring some ear plugs and it won’t be a problem.
We hadn’t travelled by car, but the free parking is a bonus in Edinburgh where parking is at a premium.
