The stay at Ians was in my oppinion better then expected :) Our quite late arrival wasnt that much of a hastle and you can really tell he is an Ediburgh bloke from the get go.
He knows a lot of local hidden gems in the city and also has quite a bunch of stories about the history of the town. Upon arrival he even shared his whisky with us.
It was a small walk from the Grassmarket to his place, so its a good place to stay for a city trip.
The bed has a nice ring to it, being build in the wall/closet. And there is even a hammock in the room. One night upon an early arrival from the town, i nearly ended up falling asleep in the hammock, listening to my own music on the sound set. All in all an excellent stay in an authentic building.
