Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Sheens House provides accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi. The property has city and quiet street views, and is 1 km from University of Edinburgh. The guest house features family rooms. The room was very clean and had all the basic services. There was a fridge and a microwave, so we could prepare small food for bringing during the day. We found a folder with all information and recommendations for our holiday in Edinburgh, very helpful! The indications were clear from booking to the stay, and good communication with the staff. They provided water, coffee and teas. The accommodation is only 15 mins walking distance from the city center, passing by a nice park close by. A pleasant stay, and definitely coming back next time in Edinburgh! Thanks John! 😁
