Robert's place was an amazing home base for exploring Edinburgh, especially the Old Town, and his directions were very clear. The room felt like my own little apartment with plenty of privacy. The view of Arthur's seat was unbeatable--there was even a rainbow over the peak when I arrived! The apartment was well off the main tourist thoroughfares without being remote or inaccessible. Other reviews said there was a convenient bus, but I found it just as easy to walk everywhere. Robert was very friendly, with an adorable pup that greeted me every time I returned home. Would definitely recommend Robert's place for any solo travelers visiting Edinburgh!
A tip he shared that I found very helpful: there is a left luggage service at Waverley station, so you can easily store bags before check in/after check out if needed.
