If you don't stay at Karen's place you're missing out! She's a warm, wonderful lady with a flat that's walking distance to cool bars and shops! She goes above and beyond what is required of her and makes you feel welcome. I felt welcomed the second I messaged her! I'll be staying in her flat whenever I'm in Edinburgh from now on, as long a she'll have me. Karen's home is a perfect home away from home. (I also plan to visit Karen's place in Spain when I travel that way again!)
