We really enjoyed our stay in Blackford Hills. Yes, it is not in the middle of citycenter but close to a bus stop where you can take the bus to city centre in only 15-20 min. Really nice view of Arthur's seat from both bedroom, living room and the terrace and also close to walking up on Blackford hill (10 min) with an amazing overlook of Edinburgh. The flat was perfect and Valerie is an amazing host that was curious about us and we got welcomed with roses, wine and croissant in the flat. Very appreciated! We could feel totally independent with an own entrance. Really great stay.
