We had never stayed in this section of Edinburgh before and were pleasantly surprised at how convent the location is. There is a bus stop right outside the door, the busses run quite regularly, and the ride to the town center is around ten minutes.
The flat itself is nicely remodeled and updated, located at the top of what used to be a tennament house. Alasdair, the host, is extremely welcoming and friendly. On top of that, he is a seasoned historical tour guide with a brilliant knowledge of Edinburgh.
