My mom and I stayed in Francois’s flat for 10 days. It was very tidy and well furnished, and the location was incredible. We easily walked throughout Old and New Town from the flat, and it was near many public transportation links (bus, tram, train) as well as several grocery stores and many bars, restaurants, and shops. As other reviewers mentioned, there is some noise from the street, however the marvelous location and comfortable setting more than made up for this. Francois was very responsive and gave us clear instructions for checking in and working appliances (heater, washer/drier, etc.) and provided great recommendations for where to eat. I highly recommend this flat for exploring Edinburgh!
