Valerie was the perfect host! She was out when we arrived but made arrangements for us to get the key. She had left bread, tea coffee and sugar, juice and biscuits which was very thoughtful of her. The flat has beautiful views over Edinburgh and Salisbury Crags and Arthur's Seat. It is convenient for the bus route into town too. Valerie came round to introduce herself when she came home and she is a nice friendly lady who can't do enough for you! We really enjoyed our stay Valerie...thank you so much!
