We couldn't have stayed in a better place! John was very accomodating when we arrived earlier than expected and arranged for us to check in early. His place is in a very nice location, right beside Arthurs Seat and close to the city center. Everything was pretty much accessible by a 30 min walk. The area is residential and quiet but close to pubs and restaurants via London Road. He has a little breakfast table set up and I loved the view of Arthurs Seat each morning when we had breakfast. What a way to start a day!!! John was very easy to communicate with and he gave us lots of tips on what to do and where to go in Edinburgh. His place is homey, quiet and very private. We both fell in love with Edinburgh and Scotland and our stay with John was certainly a big part of it! We will be back for sure and John will be the first one we will check in with for accomodation!!!
