Simon's flat is an ideal base for a visit to Edinburgh. Stockbridge is a great spot and the city centre is in walking distance plus there are frequent buses. The botanic gardens are a few minutes walk and really worth a visit. The flat is 'bijou' but not a problem if you are mainly out and about. Plus the living room window gives a great view for people watching as they come and go to the Colonies! Unfortunately we didn't get to use the balcony as it never stopped raining. We know Stockbridge well and this flat was ideally placed for a family visit. Pre arrival communication from Simon was excellent too. Overall a great trip.
