Location was great - easy walks to train and bus. Area was quiet and only a short drive to the quaint downtown area. Communication was good and Lindsay also provided some basics for a breakfast that helped after a long first day of traveling! Thank you Lindsay! The house was cleaned but definitely had the feel of a well-lived-in home. Areas for clothes were created however host's clothes, etc. were present- which wasn't a problem but unexpected. It was a convenient location for visiting Edinburgh - we were so fortunate to visit during the Fringe Festival and see the MilitaryTattoo performance - highly recommended show!
