A gem of a property in a great location
The property was clean, tidy and comfortable - we were only 2 people, but it was a decent size big enough for a family of 4 or 4 adults. We loved the location in Leith - nice and quiet at night, but with plenty of pubs and restaurants within walking distance and also close enough to the city centre to be easily accessed by tram or bus. The property owner was really communicative and helpful. We will definitely be staying here again.

Wonderful flat just outside the main areas
Wonderfully comfortable flat that was about a 25 minute Uber ride from Old Town. It was good to get away from the main area, and other than some very loud people on the street on Saturday night and the call of seagulls nearby, it was nice and quiet.
