We decided to visit Edinburgh on a whim, not knowing that the International Festival would be in full swing. We were lucky to find this option. It is in a very convenient location to everything we wanted to do. We walked everywhere. Check in was easy, they gave us keys and even offered breakfast each morning. We only had breakfast the first morning because we usually don't eat that early, but it was a delicious full English breakfast. When we got there, the room was much warmer than we are used to (most of their visitors seem to like it hot), but they kindly lowered the temp and obtained a fan and a top sheet (apparently top sheets are not a thing in the UK) when we requested it. Ok, so as some have mentioned, there is an issue with street noise, particularly from the bar across the street. Our second and subsequent nights were not as bad, because we used the fan and a noise machine app on our phone, as well as closing the heavy drapes over the shuttered window. This isn't something they have any control over, so I don't fault Marita and Keith for this. Just be prepared. We had a great visit, Keith and Marita and very nice!
