My stay at Helen´s place was great and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet place to stay in Edinburgh! The flat is situated in a very quiet residential area of Edinburgh. A supermarket and a pharmacy are right across the street, as is the bus stop (15 mins to the heart of the city). There is also a really good coffee place around the corner, and the whole area is full of very nice restaurants and little independent shops. The house is very tidy and clean and the room has everything a guest might need (plus coffee and tea :-). On a personal note, Helen is a really lovely lady!
