We were supposed to be in Edinburgh just to change trains but due to the snow storm we ended up staying for a week! We booked Robert's flat for the last 2 night of our stay and it was lovely. Very cosy and warm through the snow and we loved the neighborhood. We had been staying more in city centre recently and Stockbridge was a welcome change. Amazing shops, pubs, and restaurants very close by (Our favorites being Miss Bizio Couture, The Bailie Bar, and The Scran and Scallie). Would definitely recommend the flat as a great jumping off point to explore the city- close enough to the center you can walk to all the sights but far enough away it doesn't feel so touristy.
