The room was totally beyond our expectation. It includes a comfortable bedroom, a cozy living area and a spacious bathroom, which are all fully-equipped. It's located in a quiet residential area, so it's ideal if you're looking for some peace, but not so when the liveliness of the city center is what you prefer. The main attractions are not within walking distance, but public transportation is generally convenient.
The host is very nice, communicating with us a lot before the trip, giving detailed instructions and showing us around the house even when we arrived quite late at night. The room is some kind of an appendix to the main house, so you have your complete privacy, yet at the cost of less communication with the host. We were rather tight with our touring schedule, so we didn't have much chance of chatting with the host family, which really is the biggest shame. If I am to visit Edinburgh again, I think I will stay in the house again and make up for this loss.
What’s more, the host is really considerate in placing a lot of travel guide and restaurant recommendation in the room.
In short, I think it’s the ideal place if you want to stay in Edinburgh for some time, and really explore this lovely city. :)
房子超级棒的！有一间卧室，一个小小的客厅和宽敞的卫生间，都很干净，设施也特别齐全。因为是在居民区，所以很安静，没有市中心的喧嚣。到主要景点走过去还是有点远，但附近有不少公交车。房东人很好，事先和我们沟通了很多。因为这间房子并不是在他们家里面，只是外延出去的，所以私密性很好，但与此同时也就意味着和房东见面、交流的机会很少。像我们就因为行程很紧，晚上回来也挺累了，就根本没怎么见到房东，感觉好遗憾啊QAQ所以还是要看你是不喜欢被打扰的那种，还是更希望多融入当地。房东还在房间里放了不少旅游手册，餐厅推荐什么的，超贴心！总之，感觉是个可以多住一段时间，好好感受一下爱丁堡的地方。：）
