Joh’s place is a perfect quiet retreat, placed evenly between the city centre and Leith which was perfect for my work location, but also allowed me to explore town without relying on cabs. As soon as I was welcomed in, I felt immediately that Joh was a kindred spirit. She made me feel very at home, and and at peace to be as reclusive or sociable as I wished throughout my stay. Highlights were of course the animals, especially Tattie the very friendly cat, and enjoying Joh’s lovely art collection around the apartment. The cats and art helped me to feel at home while I was homesick during a work trip. I can’t wait to stay again. I’d highly recommend this place for quiet respectful couples as a base to explore the city, or for a solo worker seeking a stay with a more homely vibe. The room itself is private, peaceful and very tastefully decorated. There’s also a great neighbourly feeling on the street, even though it’s just off the main drag, there is very little passing traffic.
