I have travelled the world and have always felt it's much nicer renting an apartment and living as a visitor rather than a tourist. You see different aspects of a city and culture; you meet the locals; and you can have breakfast when you want! And isn't it just brilliant to call a place in a new city home for a few days! I have worked in tourism and love organising trips and helping other people with advice. Frankly I'd quite happily organise people's travel itineraries for them, as long as it's not private transfers and 5* all the way! But a little bit of luxury is a must at times. So if you have any questions on where to go, what to do, how to do it, just ask. I am happy to help and make sure your visit is the best it can be.

Stockbridge is Edinburgh's trendiest area with lots of coffee shops, bars, restaurants and shops. Our area won Best Place to Live in the Sunday Times and is a village within the city. It is in easy walking distance of the city centre (10 minutes), but you will probably end up eating locally most of the time. The Raeburn, Cafe Andaluz and Tom Kitchin's Scran and Scallie are only a one minute walk away. Convenience stores are also within a couple minutes' walk. If you have had enough of walking and nevertheless fancy a visit to George Street, Broughton, Leith or any other area the bus stop is at the end of the road. The second oldest rugby club in the world, founded in 1857, Edinburgh Academicals, is at the end of the road at Raeburn Place. It is the site of the first ever rugby international. Matches are played here every other weekend from August to March. You will definitely meet the locals over a few beers here and may even make friends for life! Inverleith Park, the Botanics and the Water of Leith walkway are all on your doorstep to enjoy the urban outdoors.
