I stayed in Gerry's flat for a few days and, being my first Airbnb experience, I have to say it was a very good one.
Gerry's flat is located an easy 15-20 minute stroll from the city centre on a main route so handy for buses although I always walked, and proved very good value as a base for exploring Edinburgh and accessing transport links such as the main train station for excursions out of town.
Gerry was a great host: communications were excellent including liaising about how to find/access the flat, and we had a couple of pleasant chats as and when our paths crossed. The whole flat was clean and presentable with a good shower and you could use the kitchen to make a cuppa and have a light breakfast (a good selection of cereals available).
The bed in my room was one of the most comfortable I've slept in and you could control the heating to your tastes easily enough through an adjustable radiator that soon warmed the room up.
If you need a convenient, comfortable base near to the centre I'd certainly recommend Gerry's place.
