Cataldo is a very friendly host and made us feel very welcome in his home. The description of his home is very accurate, the pictures show perfectly how clean and well decorated the apartment is (I really love the yellow theme in the living area). Unfortunately we went down for Fringe festival so Cataldo was very busy and out of the house most of the day/night, it would have been nice to get to know him a little better. He even left a Fringe Guide on the kitchen bench for us to flick through.
The neighbourhood it seems is quite new/still developing around what seems to be a new football stadium, the nearest high street is stocked with all the conveniences you could need and and a very large Sainsbury's. The flat is a nice half hour stroll into town past local pubs, cafes, the royal palace and up the royal mile, but is also located quite near many bus connections (we preferred to walk as the weather was beautiful, just like Edinburgh). We were also allowed to keep our car parked in the buildings secured parking the whole time we were there which was a real load off our minds. The bed was also a lot more comfortable than our own bed, I didn't want to leave. If we venture back to Edinburgh we would love to stay again with Cataldo.
