Elizabeth was an excellent host - communication was friendly and frequent, and she checked in with us to make sure we had made it to the flat safely. The location was also perfect - right next to several highly rated bars and restaurants, and within short walking distance of local bus tours. Within less than 20 minutes you can also walk to Edinburgh Castle, the National Museum of Scotland and along the royal mile. If you're in need of a gym, there's a 24 hour location at the Waverly Gate building down the street. You can pay online for a day pass or use the kiosk computer system just outside the gym entrance. Overall a great place to stay!
