The neighborhood is very nice, we felt very safe walking around even at night. I loved that we could walk from the train station to the flat. Very easy and convenient. The flat looked just like the pictures and everything was represented accurately. The host was not there to greet us because we had a flat all to ourselves, but I emailed her to let her know we made it there safely and she got right back to me. I felt very welcomed. The flat is so cute and we love the design we decide we could very happily live there. A great place to stay in Edinbourgh.
