Simon's studio was fantastic! When I think of a studio, I think of a tiny place. However, Simon's studio was pretty spacious despite it having a murphy bed. There was a separate dining area, raised by a step. There was also a fully equipped kitchen downstairs, complete with a washing machine. It's in a quiet neighborhood. A short walk to Stockbridge, which boasts one of the popular Edinburgh restaurants. It was also about a 30-minute walk to the Royal Mile. We walked at night and felt safe. It was also a £6-7 uber ride from the city center. Simon also provides instructions for taking public tranportation, aside from other tips amd instructions clearly laid out in a laminated guide in the studio. Finally, Simon was very responsive and was even able to let us checkin early. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend staying here!
