Edinburgh is reasonably compact, Leith even more so. Depends what you're after (5 star/B&B ??). I would personally avoid anything that offers "a taste of Scottish Culture"!

Keep an eye on the Gig Guide at http://www.gigguide.co.uk/edinfolk.htm

- it lists lots of free sessions, so wherever it is you stay you should find something within reasonable distance. Loads of instrumental sessions, not so many for singers...
