fantastic central stay

central location helpful tips bus stop
I appreciated the superb location. Numerous excellent restaurants exist on Bruntsfield place and Leven street. It is a short walk to the city centre. The bus stop right outside was very useful. The owner provided helpful tips for exploring the city, WHICH i liked.
the absence of an elevator made accessing rooms on higher floors a slight inconvenience.
