a wonderful stay near holyrood park
fabulous hostwonderful breakfastemission zone
kevin and susan were fabulous hosts, they provided lots of information about the city. they even made us notes on a map for our tours. in the morning they cooked a wonderful breakfast for us.
the location is near the low emission zone, which could be a problem. there is no car park on site, only street parking for residents. finding a suitable parking space was somewhat challenging.
