Bruntsfield was a lovely area within walking distance to the castle and all the sights of Edinburgh. My first time to Edinburgh and I simply fell in love with the area, the people, and the hospitality of everyone. John's apartment is wonderful, beautifully maintained, spotlessly cleanfully, and fully equipped with everything you would need while staying in Edinburgh. John left a very detailed house manual with all the information needed to enjoy your stay. I was sad to leave and wish I had spent more time on this part of my trip ! However, I will be back!
