Pros:
Yves met us at the flat and was very welcoming - she even had some city guides ready for us. The flat was immaculate and there were a really decent amount of basic provisions in the kitchen and bathroom. The location is really good - easy walking distance to central Edinburgh or Leith. The selection of teas in the cupboard was also superlative :-) Their record collection is another obvious, massive bonus.

Cons:
There is no hot running water in the bathroom, with the exception of the electric shower (the taps don't work at all). This means a bath or a wet shave are out of the question. This wasn't made clear in the listing and was very disappointing. There is no central heating in the flat, this wasn't made clear in the listing either. It takes a while to get the place warm using a mix of gas and electric heaters.
