Valentina’s flat was a great home base for exploring Edinburgh. It's super central; we could easily walk to a number of cool neighborhoods, including Old Town and Bruntsfield. We had all we needed in the kitchen, and we made great use of the washer and clever drying set-up. The interior has that ultra-charming old-building aesthetic. Most importantly, communication was great: fast and easy. I will say, the building is on quite a busy street, with a beeping crosswalk just outside (very noisy). Being an old building, everything is heard through windows and walls. Personally, we would have appreciated more instructions in the guidebook, as the fusebox and oven for example were strange to us. The bed was also smaller than we expected: a double, not a queen (though this could be a North America/Europe thing?) Lastly, we thought the rule about only 2 rolls of toilet paper provided was strange and awkward for stays longer than a few nights like ours. Overall, a good stay with pros and cons.
