We very much enjoyed our visit at Derek's flat. Although it is a bit outside of the main part of town- it is an easy walk into Old Town all the way to Princes street. It is also an easy walk to Haymarket station and the surrounding shops. We were blessed with wonderful weather for our time in Edinburgh and enjoyed walking through the park and seeing the High Street amongst other things. The tram construction was too bad as many streets were fenced off for works- but this is to be expected in any metropolitan area the size of Edinburgh and I am sure the tram will make Derek's flat even more enjoyable in the future years.

The flat looks exactly as the photos would leave you to believe: clean, modernized and with every convenience you would hope for. The wifi connection was great and we enjoyed the spacious peace and quiet offered.

Derek was very accommodating even with us arriving late due mostly to exhaustion on our part after travelling a very long way with no sleep. Needless to say we greatly appreciated his hospitality and a comfortable place to rest our weary heads!

The only negative I can think of is that the flat is on the top floor and there is no lift so many stairs are involved! With that being said, the top floor did provide a better view out the windows and was perhaps a bit quieter than a lower level would have been.

Although the entrance is unassuming, once you're inside, the modern decor and thoughtful touches Derek has left are sure to make anyone feel at home there. We would highly recommend his flat to any traveller whatever their expected level of comfort.

You will not be disappointed staying here!
