We enjoyed staying at Carol's. We loved the location which is just at the tail end of the royal mile with convenience to shops, pubs and Arthur's seat. It was a bit loud at times in the front bedroom as others have noted - suggestion to bring ear plugs. Carol has left lots of notes/detailed emails which could be a bit confusing at times as there were so many to go through - It would be great to have check in/checkout and all information in the binder. We did have a slight issue with running out of toilet paper but Carol was very quick to respond and very apologetic. She was also really great about our last minute request to leave our bags which made our trip to Arthur's seat much more enjoyable. One last note - I may have misunderstood the listing/description but the black sofa pictured is not for sleeping. I had thought I could have one of our travelers on the black pull out sofa and one on the white sofa, but actually the white sofa pulls out into two twin beds that are essentially right next to each other. We made it work but it could be potentially uncomfortable for two guests who are not related/comfortable sleeping in essentially a double bed together.
