Alan was a wonderful host. The location is excellent, especially for those who enjoy looking out at a park and waterway. It's just off the Water of Leith walkway, so we ended up walking everywhere (there's a bus nearby, too). The room was comfortable, shower was hot and good, and the amenities were quite nice. The best, though, were Alan's helpful suggestions about places to go, including restaurants, and things to do. His ideas were customized to our preferences - locally sourced food with vegetarian options, good places to walk, and interesting museums. He was unfailingly thoughtful - and fun to talk to.
We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay with Alan again!
