edinburgh accommodation
 
i am staying in edinburgh and have found accommodation in windsor st off london rd near leith walk. Can anyone advise me if this is a good and safe area to stay thanks

Allan <BR> <BR>It's fine, inasmuch as any near to city centre location is. <BR> <BR>The bottom of Leith Walk is iffy (bit red lighty) and the other side at the top is allegedly Edinburgh's gay area- not that they're particularly in your face in edinburgh- it's far too genteel.

It's changed a bit Sheila. <BR> <BR>Allan, you'll be fine where you are, just use city sense.

Tony, which bit am I wrong about (having dealt with both just last month:-))

I've heard that heteros flaunt it face in many areas of E'burgh.

No, they're too cowed.(and rightly so!)
