Stayed at Scott's apt for 7 days (July - Aug, 2019). It is in a great up-and-coming neighbourhood with independent shops, pubs, cafes etc to provide a great local, non-touristy feel but is still within a 15 - 20 minute walking distance to all the sites in central Edinburgh. If you are a runner or like to cycle, the trail along Union Canal is a nice surprise and not far off. Scott was easily accessible by e-mail or text message and even made the effort to check in on us over the week to make sure all was well. He was also able to accommodate an earlier than expected check-in--much appreciated after a trans-Atlantic flight. The apartment was clean and bright with a spacious bedroom and combined kitchen/living area. The kitchen was well supplied with essentials that are helpful especially for those of us who do make meals when on holiday. Highly recommended!
