Excellent coffee, some of the best in town (and that's saying something for such a good coffee city as Edinburgh). Small selection of good breakfast & lunch options.

Amazing Mexican with a really interesting and different menu compared to the normal cheesy mess at most Mexican restaurants. Doesn’t take bookings and gets very busy, but you can have a drink in the excellent Bon Vivant while you wait.

Sightseeing

The area around the City Centre and to the rear of the flat is the Georgian period New Town. Even the residental areas in the new town are worth visiting to experience the spectacular streets and grand architecture.

Out of our flat to the left and heading down Leith Walk towards the historic old port of the city you will find many local bars and restaurants, and the waterfront area itself is lovely to walk around. Leith is one of the most vibrant areas of nightlife in the city and is regularly cited as one of the worlds “most hipster neighbourhoods”.

Out to the flat to the right and up the hill takes you to the centre of the city, with many of its most famous attractions such as Calton Hill (which the flat looks out onto), Princes Street and Edinburgh Castle. Not only will you find many of the most famous landmarks of Edinburgh here but it’s the main shopping area with many major stores on Princes Street, George Street & Rose Street.

Stockbridge in the new town is also a must see, with it’s many independent shops, bars and restaurants, it also has a market every Sunday from 9am onwards that we love to visit ourselves. If you want green space then you will also find the Royal Botanic Gardens on the edge of Stockbridge.

Great for a day trip from Edinburgh. Lovely beach, nice cafes, restaurants and shops. We particularly recommend Bostock Bakery and Steampunk Coffee. If you don't fancy driving, regular trains run from Waverley Station.

Parks & Nature

You have an amazing view of Calton Hill from the flat, but if you want to go up Calton Hill and have an amazing view of the flat (and the rest of the city), it's highly recommended!
