Overall Colin's place was perfectly adequate for our short trip to Edinburgh. We stayed 4 nights. The location was fantastic - right on the Royal Mile. Great for groups of people to stay who are wanting a place to sleep while traveling the city. Only issues we had was a delayed check-in by maybe 30 minutes where I wasn't able to contact the host in that time and we didn't have hot water for one of the days that we were there. Thankfully once we heard from the hosts, fixing the hot water was a simple process that I could do myself. The only thing I would suggest is that if you're a light sleeper (noise sensitive) to bring a set of ear plugs as the Royal Mile is a busy place though that goes for the majority of place on the Mile. Beds were super comfy!
