The space is right in the heart of the buzz of downtown activity with many restaurants & bars nearby. Space was large & had an artsy vibe. Many live plants & cool artwork. There is a washing machine in the kitchen which was handy for us. We were there during a rare heatwave which required us to keep the windows open. There was a lot of noise from the drunk party people going from bar to bar until 2:00 am but that is just part of being in a great location. I assume with typical Edinburgh weather that would not have been an issue & certainly nothing our host could control. We really enjoyed our time and Rafaela was delightful.
