Edinburgh Accomodations

Masson House

A typical double room

We will be staying in a double ensuite (read: private bathroom/shower) at Masson House in Edinburgh. It is less than a mile from the conference center and from the downtown area. The link in the title goes to a wiki article that explains the whole housing center at University of Edinburgh. We will essentially be staying in a dorm room that is set up as a B+B for the summer holiday.

Here's more info if you really want to know more (and so I can find it when I need it!)
