Edinburgh Townhouse

Kind of like a really great hostel

Pros: Each room has its own sleeping quarters and bathroom, which were very well maintained. The area is very safe, and about a block from all the hubbub of New Town.

Cons: My email contained the wrong room number. I tried to open Room 10 which was behind the counter instead of Room 1 which was in front and on the keys I retrieved. Maybe I would've felt a little better if I had seen someone, but there's no 24-hour reception here. My plug converter, which I had just bought at a nearby shop (there are tons), blew out. Kids, try to avoid power strips. Just buy a couple of converters. So I had to borrow on the 5-day tour departing the next morning.

Great location run by great people.

Pros: Awesome central location place to stay run by extremely helpful and lovely people.
