We couldn't have asked for a warmer welcome from Natalia and her family!
We were given as much attention (lots of delicious cake, cups of tea, local whisky and great chats) as space when we needed some quiet time.
The room we rented was bright and spacious, and the double bed very comfortable. Situated right next to the bathroom, which gives much more privacy than you'd expect staying in a flat with a family of four.
The flat is located in a very quiet neighbourhood with some great views around. It took us about 35 mins to walk down some quiet paths down to the Royal Mile in central Edinburgh (with many trendy cafes and restaurants on the way). Buses can be caught just around a corner from the property and take 15 mins to get to/from the train station (we got that one when we arrived).
Would recommend to anyone who's looking for somewhere nice and cosy, quiet but not too far from central, where they can spend some time getting to know the city from the host's perspective.
