This is a hidden gem in Edinburgh. Renting a room you basically get your own space with a bedroom and a mini living area. This has the door that can be locked in. The only this which is not inside your space is the bathroom, which is conveniently downstairs. We have barely seen the host as we were running different time schedules, which gave us the feel that we had our own space rather than sharing. The only thing is that this is the top floor (3 or 4?), and no elevator available - which was fine for us.
