Could not have been happier with the location because all the things we wanted to do were within a short walk to the bus, just down the Brae, or just up Leith Walk. We felt like we were in the perfect place to be in the middle of everything, yet not overwhelmed with noise, people and traffic, and we had a lovely garden at the back. We traveled as a family consisting of three couples and that worked out as well, each with enough separation and a nice front room for getting together. We used the iron and ironing board, the hair dryer, the washer and dryer and the dishwasher. Two bedrooms have en suites and the third bedroom which has 2 beds uses the very nice bathroom in the hallway. If we go back to Edinburgh we would definitely stay again at Robert's house on the hill...it is evident that he takes care of his house as well as his guests, and is available at a moment's notice.
