We stayed our second time in Simon´s beautiful house in the very nice part of Edinburgh called STOCKBRIDGE.
We loved to be there like a citizen, went shopping, enjoyed different beautiful and special cafes and pubs (even the next day the bartender said hello when we met him in the street ;) ), walking in the botanic garden, visiting the very nice market on Sunday morning and especially the Glenogle Swim Center next to his house.

It´a very nice 25-minutes- walk on foot to the center of Edinburgh where you can do such al lot of interesting things whatever you like!
The flat is very well equipped and the upstairs is very spacious, the kitchen downstairs has everything you need - even an oven. We had lots of rain the first day and it was fresh outside and our stuff was humid... so we were very happy about the warm heating in the flat!
Simon is a very friendly person and gives you lots of valuable tipps for your stay!
We will come back soon!!!
