The self check-in and check-out was very easy. Clean, Convenient with good communication from the host is the summary. The location is only 5 minutes from a beautiful walk along the water of Leith. Another 5 minutes on the path led to wonderful views of Dean Village - a must see while in Edinburgh. Circus Lane, made famous by instagram pix, is one street over. When walking into town, you can follow the main street into the castle ground/castle gardens without any turns. Several small pubs are located around the corner. Several breakfast options are within a 3 minute walk. The host communicated before and during the trip. Thanks for the storage recommendations! We used local luggage storage for 5 GBP per luggage piece since our plane arrived 4 hours before check-in. The storage on Princes Street is most convenient. Less than 50 meters from the airport tram stop (great transportation option from the airport with cost of 6.50 pounds). This allowed us to tour the castle, visit Victoria street and visit St. Giles church before checking in at 4:30pm. The top floor has a comfortable couch that seated 4 people in front of a large tv. The pictures on Airbnb accurately reflect the layout. Perfect place for our group of 4!
