Rachel was so welcoming when I arrived in Edinburgh. There was a bit of a miscommunication meeting up, but she was so great to sort it out even though it had gotten quite late by the time I arrived. She was also nice enough to invite me to come to a small gathering at her home, which was great with me being a solo traveler. The apartment was exactly as pictured and was a really lovely place to stay! I stayed for a month and the neighborhood really got to feeling like home. It's got everything you need (restaurants, grocery, pharmacy, etc) and is close enough to the city center to be walkable, but also far enough away that you're not caught up in the tourist scene. The best of both worlds for a tourist who doesn't want to feel like a tourist. I would definitely stay again!
