This place was SUCH an awesome choice for our week-long trip in Scotland. It was beautiful, clean, and cozy -- what else could you want on an October adventure to Scotland? I would absolutely stay there again if I go back to Edinburgh.
Location-- It was a quiet corner of Edinburgh, but right by the bus stop and only a 30ish minute walk from the high street/the Royal Mile and all its attractions. It's also only about 20 minutes from a small beach with a long jetty that's fun to walk out on. The Waverly train station is about a 25-30 minute walk (you can take the bus, too), and the EDI airport is about a 45-minute bus trip away. There's plenty of food restaurants and shops nearby -- especially recommend the Cafe Montagu right across the street for coffee/tea and a treat.
In the kitchen-- There are enough dishes for 2 or 3 (comfortably)- tea cups, bowls, a couple different sizes of plates, flatware. The only thing to cook in is the microwave, but there's a whole microwave cookbook there as well as a microwave steamer basket. And with the internet, you can easily figure out how to do a lot of things. (;
And the little living room is a lovely spot to sit on the heated floor while drinking a pot of tea and watching the morning rain. <3
