Very well located- Myriam's apartment is about a 15-20 minute walk from old town and close to other major shops in new town. We were able to use minimal public transport during our stay, although bus prices in Edinburgh are also very cheap.
The room was warm and clean, with very good storage available. The bathroom was a lot bigger than expected and had good lighting during the winter daylight hours.
Myriam was friendly and accommodating, and even left us some leaflets of things to do in the shadows room. Even though the whole apartment is quite small, the room felt private and was noise-proof. It was nice to see Myriam every morning to give us some tips for our day and she made the stay a lot more enjoyable.
