Mike’s place was fantastic. It was cozy and clean, with the perfect amount of privacy. Though there are Airbnb clients staying in other rooms, he’s carpeted the floors on the staircase and landings (and rooms) so it’s totally quiet! (Thank you for thinking of that, Mike!)
It’s important to be mindful of the fact that because his place is just far enough from downtown Edinburgh, you’ll likely want to invest in a bus pass for the trip to town. (I normally wouldn’t have minded the walk from his place to downtown, but it was extremely cold when I visited, so it was just a bit too far in that weather.) As long as you’re ok with the added cost of a bus pass, the location is fantastic as it’s in a quaint neighborhood and right next to a bus stop! I’d love to stay here again when I come to Edinburgh.
