We loved staying at Rufus'. It was clean, cosy, well-appointed and incredibly convenient with respect to both the city centre and the University of Edinburgh. Check-in was easy and swift, as was check-out. The apartment, though close to a shopping strip with a range of stores (including several supermarkets) along it, is very quiet. If you stay there - and we hope you do - make sure you have dinner at Kim's Korean Restaurant: where, for a mere ten pounds, you will get a main meal, with free appetizers and as much rice as you can eat! They were recently given the thumbs up by the folks at Michelin, so you know it's going to be good. Get there before 6pm, though, otherwise you'll have to join the line outside! Although we found nothing to fault, we did think that a welcome pack with some first day basics like milk and a map of the area indicating the location of supermarkets would make the stays of future guests even better! As would faster internet. (Are slow speeds a city-wide problem?) In any case, we'll definitely stay at Rufus' again! He made booking a breeze and was great to deal with via email and texting.
