Cara is a fantastic host! She was extremely communicative from the start (answered all my questions immediately, was very on top of the reservation). So it all started wonderfully. Upon arrival, she settled us in, had biscuits laid out for us in the room, and gave us the lay of the land. She was very nice and informative. She also had a lot of Edinburgh Fringe brochures and guides (which we didn't need as we weren't going to the fringe, but it was nice that she had it all there if we were). She told us about the Lothian bus apps and how to get around, where to find things in the flat as well as outside of the flat. The room and bathroom were very clean and lovingly cared for. We wanted for nothing. Rather than take buses we either used our rental car (there was easy parking) and walked to the center. It was less than 30 minutes walk to the West End / Princes Street). Very well located with loads of buses into the centre. Some other pluses: a lift (elevator), making it easier to get bags into the flat, and a well-stocked kitchen where we could start our day with a breakfast of our making.
Would HIGHLY recommend. The flat is clean, lovely, well-located, easy-access, and Cara is just such a lovely person who clearly cares about her home and the guests she hosts.
