Valentino was a great host - very quick to respond to communications. The flat is spacious, clean and cosy (we visited in November and didn't need the heating on). Comfy beds and sofas. On a busy road, but well sound-proofed at the front, and the bedrooms are at the back, quiet and overlooking the gardens. Convenient location - supermarket just across the road, close to Holyrood park, 25 min walk to city centre. The only small drawbacks we found - the bathroom sink is very tiny, just big enough for hand washing, and my husband found it too small for shaving. Also, there were 3 air fresheners plugged in when we arrived. If you have a sensitivity to smells (I have friends who are severely allergic) then you might want to ask when you book for them not to be plugged in. Otherwise, we had a lovely stay, and would book again. Thanks, Valentino!
