The house was really spacious and decorated with style. Its proximity to all main tourist attractions and Edinburgh city centre was a great plus. There was a large dining area as well as a kitchen which made it possible for pleasurable evenings. John was very understanding and helped us when a situation arised. As the house is an enormous property it is absolutely normal that when one books he should be willing to share. However, I believe that the host must state more clearly the number of rooms and the beds in each room. In the beginning my family of 7 was split into 2 rooms and given the fact that there was just 1 child it was really uncomfortable arrangement. However, John was really nice and managed to provide a 3rd bedroom. Another issue was the shower situation, it is true that when there was hot water it was extremely hot but if you were one of the last persons to shower you would have to use cold water. To finalize I believe if the host writes a more explicit explanation of what one must expect it would be beneficial both for him and for the future guests.
