“The townhouse has a genuinely welcoming host and offers comfortable, quiet rooms; plus, the location allows for pleasant walks to the city center or a quick bus ride. I think the value for money is excellent, especially considering the views some rooms have of Arthur's Seat. A solid choice for a no-frills Edinburgh stay.”
