Stephen was super welcoming and very easy to talk to. His place is BEAUTIFUL. The neighbourhood is perfect: pleasant walking distance to old town, the castle, royal mile, public transit, everything The pubs and restaurants nearby were glorious.

Ok, beautiful's not the right word. It's insanely cool, but people say everything is cool, these days. How about this: When you get there, you feel like you're staying in the home of a vampire musician. When Stephen says "characterful flat," he is being modest.
