We had a lovely time at Alla's apartment. The location is outside of the city center, but we found that to be perfect, especially during the fringe festival, where the center was packed with people - it was nice to get out into a quieter neighbourhood. The apartment is easily accessible by bus and the decor is very charming. The shore and Leith in itself are beautiful and calm as well - definitely recommend this place is you just need a bedroom for a couple of nights to explore the city of Edinburgh :)
