Paul was very awesome about being welcoming and patient with me. I'm an international student who doesn't yet have a European phone plan, so I could only contact him when I had wifi. I tried to update him as much as possible, but I ended up arriving an hour later than planned due to plane delays. He was very understanding and very kind. He made check-in an easy and quick experience, showing me how to connect to the wifi and where to find my keys.

Paul is very good about communication. Both before I arrived and once I was there, if I ever needed something, he always responded to me in less than 5 minutes, which made me feel like he really cared about the quality of my stay.

The neighborhood was great, not the city center of Edinburgh, but that was perfect! I got to see how locals really live, which was an awesome experience. It wasn't too difficult to get to the city center with transport or by foot, either. And there was a big Tesco just near the apartment, so that I could buy some snacks easily.

I would absolutely recommend staying with Paul to a friend and I would definitely stay with him again when visiting Edinburgh. :)
