Helen and her son are excellent hosts. Their clean, well-decorated flat is in the quietest part of Edinburgh. Holyrood is lovely, and the flat is a short walk from several popular neighborhoods. It's near the Eastern end of the Royal Mile, the nightlife center of Old Town, the restaurants and pubs in Southside, and it's not far from Waverly train station or the center of the University. Their flat is just like the pictures present it - very clean. I appreciate how they made plenty of space for guests. Some closets are marked private, while guests get plenty of places to store their belongings. The mattress could be more comfortable, as it has springs that you can feel. The only other criticism I have is while the flat is nice, it is inside an old public housing building. I would recommend this flat for a single traveller who doesn’t mind a cold bedroom and favors its ideal location over coziness.
