A wonderful clean and quiet Annex
Fiona greeted us on arrival and showed us around the Annex. The Annex was spotless. So beautifully presented. A lovely touch with fresh flowers, a basket of goodies, milk in the fridge and fresh fruit in the bowl. The bus route was so easy for us who had not been on a bus in 30 years. I just googled directions by bus and there were a few you could get from different nearby roads, all frequent. We would definitely stay again if we were to visit Edinburgh again. Thanks.

Excellent place to stay.
We were delighted with the stay. The place is very beautiful and clean. The owners had the detail of leaving us groceries to welcome us, very useful after a long trip. The property is close to Edinburgh's main attractions. With accessible transportation options, we used Uber to get around and never had to wait more than 5 minutes. If we were to return to Edinburgh, we would stay again.

Absolutely wonderful stay!
This is our fifth week in Britain staying in various self-catering VRBOs. I have to say the amenities at The Annexe are the best we have come across. Very high quality for everything, from the large, lush bath towels to the appliances, furniture, etc. Also a very nice welcome basket with lots of items to get you started for breakfasts. Very enjoyable stay. Peaceful neighbourhood, yet just a few block's walk to hop the bus to the city centre. There is a nice pub nearby as well as a Tesco's. Fiona was a great host, I would absolutely recommend The Annexe!

Perfect Edinburgh Location
This property is one of the best we have stayed at during our 15 plus years of using VRBO. It is located in a quiet area of Edinburg near a direct and frequent bus route into the heart of the busy city center. However, it is very easy to leave town and access the amazing countryside. We did both it worked perfectly for us. The best part was the property itself. Outfitted to a VERY high standard, very comfortable bed (US King size), fabulous bath, and kitchen with everything we needed. Fiona left us a welcome basket of many things and also included milk and eggs. Watching the coronation from the living room will be something we will always remember, and it was enhanced by watching her beautiful dogs at play in the back garden. Thanks Fiona - expect us back soon!
