“For a short stay in Edinburgh, this B&B presents a compelling option due to its prime location in the old medieval town center. I particularly like that the rooms are cozy and clean, and the provision of a basic breakfast adds a touch of convenience for travelers on the go. While some rooms are compact, the value for money and central position make it a smart choice.”
