Thanks a lot Alistair for a great stay!
The place is quiet and ideally located , if you are travelling by car and approaching the city from the South. I had a great sleep after 7 hours on motorways )
The house is 12-15 minutes drive away from the center and even less to Portobello.
I would recommend to take a beautiful route via Holyrood park on the way to Edinburgh castle and Princess street.
Or you can take about 20 minutes walk to the Craigmillar castle.
My greetings to Lucia!
