The area this Edinburgh Self Catering Apartment is located in has much of offer to the visitor. Livingstone Place overlooks The Meadows, a large park in Edinburgh which is lined with trees and covered in well-kept green lawn. On the upper half is an open golf course, free to anyone who happens to own their own set of clubs, and on the lower half you'll often find people kicking around a football, playing tennis on the outdoor tennis courts or playing croquet. There is also a spectacular playground for kids and it's a great place for walking, cycling, rollerblading and scootering as there are footpaths everywhere.

In August the lower half of the Meadows is over-taken by circus tents and a fair ground for the Edinburgh International Festival, and it is not uncommon to see circus performers practicing their routines in the surrounding grounds during the day.

The deli at the corner of Livingstone Place, Victor Hugo's is well worth a visit! Warrender Park swimming baths is just 5 minutes from the apartment and there's a good selection of coffee houses, internet cafes, restaurants, grocers to be found in the surrounding streets.

Sweet Melinda's is a neighbourhood restaurant with a tiny, single room tucked away in middle Marchmont. Cooking is great and the atmosphere convivial yet stylish. The menu is good for seafood with some game and veggie options. The fish is from neighbour Eddie's Seafood Market, and changes to suit whatever is fresh.



Neighbouring Bruntsfield is a bustling shopping area with several bars and commendable bistros only a short walk across the Links from Marchmont. Both Howies and Montpeliers restaurants are on the main street and are well worth a visit.  There's also a nice deli, Peckhms,  for luxury nibbles and lots of gift shops nearby.
