Catherine is a pleasant and hospitable host, and an interesting person to talk to. Her place is really clean and full of natural light. The apartment is stylish with many tasteful details.
The room is spacious with all the basic amenities, like drinking water, electric kettle, tea & coffee, and small snacks. The bed is comfortable. We slept well.
The house is located in a nice and quiet neighborhood. There are several bus stops around, within 3-5 minutes walk. We preferred to walk to the city center and enjoy the views of old buildings and surrounding parks. There is plenty of coffee shops and restaurants at Stockbridge within 5-10 min walk from Catherine's place. They offer a good selection of coffee, paistry and fine food. Also there are several charity bookshops with good selection of books in great condition for a nice price. However, most of cafes and shops close by 6 p.m. which seems to be a regular thing for Edinburgh.
If you're looking for a quiet and cozy place to stay and like coffee and books, then I definitely recommend Catherine's place.
