I enjoyed staying at Amanda's not just cause the room is nice and comfortable, but because she is a great host who gave me a lot of tips and made me feel welcome. It's also nice she put effort to label everything for guests in the kitchen and provide detailed instructions for utilities. The place is not very central but I did not mind it because there are direct busses (20 min) and it also meant I could take a 20-minute walk to the shore and Portobello and Arthur's seat for a morning hike. Very peaceful and great for a few days in Edinburgh, definitely would recommend!
