The Airbnb was as described, with a clean double room in a small house in a residential area to the north of Edinburgh. It was a good, cheap base from where we could explore Edinburgh and the fringe festival.
We never met Adam but he responded quickly to messages and was able to answer any questions we had. He was kind enough to have left us some maps and a bottle of water each in our room.
The house was about a 35 minute bus journey or just over an hour walk to the old city centre. There are multiple large supermarkets nearby, including a Lidl and a couple of Morrisons. It is also a short walk to the promenade along the Forth.
