Even before we arrived, Fiona helped
us with our trip since we'd never been to Edinburgh before. She made navigating the city very easy. When we arrived, she met us at the flat and gave us a tour of her beautiful artist's studio. And when she learned that we were artists, she gave us recommendations of what to do while we were there. She even left us some granola, strawberries and milk, which didn't last very long. :)
Her recommendations were spot on--the flat is just around the corner from the little town of Stockbridge which had an excellent farmers market and many cute shops and great restaurants. We were able to stock up with fresh eggs, cheese and bread at the farmers market so that we could get up, make a quick breakfast and get going in the mornings.
The Artist's Studio itself is lovely, private, bright, quiet and clean. It has everything you need. The bed is comfortable and Fiona has books in every room to choose from if you want a night of relaxing.
It's not hard to walk to any of the sites from her flat. And you get a key that gives you access to the private (and stunning) Dean's Gardens, which was one of our favorite parts of the stay.
We'd gladly return to Fiona's place next time we're in Edinburgh!
