Staying at Laura's place was very nice. There were pictures on the walls and a few decorations here there, which made it feel a bit more like home. It had almost everything we needed for our 3-night stay, except a coffee pot. The flat is in a great location! We easily took the buses all over the city and the trip usually took about 10-15 minutes. Also, we left a bag of souvenirs when we left and Laura was so lovely in helping us locate the bag and even had it mailed to us at our next destination. She definitely went above an beyond! The only thing to note is that the small bedroom is a little tight, but doable and the walls could use a fresh coat of paint. But Laura and the location made this a wonderful place to stay in Edinburgh.
