The Neighborhood:
This Bruntsfield flat is only a 5 minute walk from Morningside and a 10-15 minute walk across the Meadows to the University and the centre of town. Both Morningside and Bruntsfield are famous for their boutique shops, upmarket supermarkets and independent café's and bars-notably the Black Ivy bar and restaurant on the same street and the Apartment restaurant round the corner..
Bruntsfield Links was one of the earliest places where golf was played in the Edinburgh area and is still home to a small pitch and putt golf course. Clubs are available in the flat if you want to try your hand at putting.
You can walk across the Links to Melville Drive and the Meadows itself which was formed after the old Burgh Loch was finally drained in the 19th century.
While the flat is not in the hustle and bustle of the city centre, it's just a 5 minute bus ride to get there, with bus services every couple of minutes. The grassy park on your doorstep provides the perfect setting for an early morning stroll or a relaxing sit down on the grass after a hard day of exploring the city.

There are a number of buses that will take you to different areas of the city centre. The number 23 will take you down to the old town. The 5 will take you to the bridges. The 16 will take you into the new town and down to Leith. The 11 will take you through the new town and down to the shore at Western Harbour where you will find Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre and the Royal Yacht Britannia.
