Such a wonderful place!! Eric at the reception gave me a warm welcome and showed me around the place and even helped carry my bags up two floors, Lukas and Silvia too were so helpful with anything that I needed and so friendly, The place is spic and span. And you can always go to the kitchen and help yourself to tea, coffee, milk, bread, cornflakes, etc. The bus stop is just outside and the Coop too. Walking distance to landmarks like the Royal Yacht Britannia, Leith waterside, etc. The name befits the place - I truly felt I had visited my friend's house!!

This was one of the best B&B's ever. The old townhouse was located in a beautiful cul-de-sac, about 15 minutes beautiful walk from the historic center of Edinburgh - several walks to choose through the parks and along the canal nearby. The room was just amazing with floor-to-ceiling windows and beautiful decoration and small garden below. Big bonus was also a great small restaurant around the corner (reservation needed) and easy distance to the airport. There are 1-2 parking places available - book beforehand!
