Sharan is great - responds at lightning speed, is helpful and welcoming. We stayed in his flat as a base to visit Edinburgh University & St Andrew's University and it was perfect for this. Free parking in the street, Lidl 1 minute round the corner and interesting cafes and restaurants close by. The flat was warm, beds very comfortable and a lovely view of King Arthur's Seat and Calton Hill. It's really not far to walk into the centre of the city, something I was worried about, but turns out it wasn't an issue at all.
