The house is in a nice area and is large and spacious. Certainly ideal for large groups, but was no problem for the three of us anyway. Kitchen and living room were also good (although we didn't actually use them). The bedrooms also have shutters to help keep the sunlight out during the long summer days when the sun rises at 4:00. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet John as he had a private matter to attend to, nevertheless his cleaner was friendly and helpful and we had no problem getting in and using the flat.

There are also some nice little shops nearby, nice pubs on Queensferry St and just 10-15 min walk into Princes St. for all the major shops.
