Excellent location — rated 9.8/10! (score from 654 reviews)
Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
Hosts were wonderful. House decor is so lovely - home from home (although far more fabulous than mine). Great breakfast - left us full for the day. Location is great, easy and relatively inexpensive taxi into the centre of Edinburgh with easy and regular public transport links too. Close to the beach and on a busy high street with everything you'd need on the doorstep. Highly recommend to stay just outside of the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh. Would definitely return.
