This is a great flat for any trip to Edinburgh. We used it as our base for the fringe and it was ideal. Close enough to stroll in along the canal but far enough for a bit of peace and quiet when desired. The cafe next door (furthest away of the two) does a fabulous Full Scottish and the Kippers are something else. Well served by local pubs, The Golden Rule was our favourite, but The Fountain is also very good. Will definitely return when circumstances permit.
