Stayed at Joe's place for 1 night during a short trip to Edinburgh. The location suited us perfectly (within walking distance or a short cheap taxi ride to main places of interest for us) and on the street parking was easily available and free as it was the weekend. Communication with Joe was easy and he was flexible with arrival/departure times. He was also very welcoming and helpful. You are invited to try Joe's homemade wine and gin which he talks about with great enthusiasm which we greatly enjoyed along with a tipple of Elderflower wine or two! We were taken aback by the sheer size of the room and original period features. The place was clean enough and although a bit chilly what with it being a period property, extra heaters, blankets and a heated blanket were provided if needed. Would definitely stay here again and we were actually a bit sad our stay was so short because Joe was a great host, great company and his place is everything you need for a stay in this beautiful city.
