Galina is such a sweet host, she gave me lots of tips on what to do in Edinburgh! I felt very safe during my stay (I'm a solo female traveller). The house is about a 25 minute bus ride away from the city centre, but it's worth it to go back to a safe neighbourhood where you don't need to worry about walking alone at night. She also was very accommodating with appliances in the house (toaster, dish washer, fridge). I ended up checking out a little late by accident, but she was very sweet and flexible.
One thing that may be important to some people is that I could hear snoring a couple of the nights from the room beside mine (the hosts room). I could only hear it a couple of the nights.
Washroom is private, but is not ensuite!
