My husband and I rented Eric's place in Portobello for two weeks in August. We couldn't believe our luck finding such a great place with beautiful views overlooking Portobello beach and able to breath in fresh air everyday!! Eric was great.....though we never met him in person he was very helpful and available through email. He also had two wonderful people in Portobello (Paula and Zannah) who were very friendly and had lots of great advice about local places to visit etc. The location is fantastic with amazing views (did I mention the views) over the beach and a beautiful
promenade to walk along. If you want access to the city there is a bus just at the top of the street that takes you to centre of Edinburgh in 20 minutes. That said......once you land at Eric's place I can't imagine you would even bother!!! Lots of lovely places to eat along the promenade and a few great pubs as well. Thanks Eric for sharing your place with us! We will definitely be back.
