We fully enjoyed our stay. The open plan of kitchen /lounge / diner made those times we stayed in to eat a pleasure as we were always still together. All very modern and very clean. Bedrooms very nice and two good bathrooms, both with a shower and one with a bath too. All felt very secure, but the surrounding area seems very safe anyway (as does every bit of Edinburgh we went to). The location, about a mile west of the castle is great. Close enough to everything. There are pubs nearby and also a small supermarket. Close to Union Canal too which is worth a walk. Will go back, and will stay here again.
