“In my opinion, this guest house provides a solid value, especially considering its location outside the main tourist crush, allowing for a quieter Edinburgh experience. The hosts seem genuinely helpful, ready to assist with any needs. Its proximity to both bus lines and local spots like Saint Mary's coffee shop is a real advantage.”
