If you want to get the full Edinburgh experience, you have to stay with Eva. Not only is the room immaculate (and located within a quick walk of Old Town) but Eva's expert advise is second to none. After welcoming us into her home, she brought out the city map to help us plan our day out. The restaurants she suggested: amazing, the sights she highlighted: fun and, for the most part, totally free! If we ever come back, I couldn't think of a better host to stay with.
