The room was spacious and the bed was very comfy. You’d be sharing a clean bathroom and a small kitchen with the host. There is no microwave and the small fridge can get quite packed for two people, but other than that everything was great.
Esther was a great host. She shared quite a few good tips about Edinburgh during my stay, and we had some good chats in the living room.
The location is fairly close to the VFS visa application center in Newhaven, so anyone coming to Edinburgh for visa purposes (like me) will find it a nice additional benefit!
