Julia was very friendly and hospitable (even let me watch the rugby in the living room!), with a genuine make-yourselves-at-home attitude, even though our stay was short. The room was large and attractive, with a big and comfortable bed, and Julia laid out a lovely breakfast for us. The location was very convenient for our purposes - a pleasant walk across the Meadows to the city centre (10 minutes or so to the university, another 5-10 to the Royal Mile, etc.).
