Louise has done an excellent job of decorating this lovely room. She is a gracious host and informative about Edinburgh. The room does have several shortcomings. When paying top dollar for a room as this one is, one expects to have a good quality supportive mattress. The mattress in this room is certainly not that. It seems old and broken down. The room does not have tea making facilities nor a TV. These are provided in a room downstairs but it is not ideal to have to go downstairs and make a cup of tea to take back to your room. Also, I for one don't want to watch TV with strangers in a somewhat cluttered lounge room. Given the price charged for the room it is not asking much to have a TV in the room. I realise that this is a room in the making and that Louise plans improvements over time. But priority should be given to the shortcomings mentioned above.
