We just can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay here! Thomas is a communicative host who seems to have thought of everything, from stocking all those little staples that make your stay go more smoothly, to providing nice toiletries, great amenities, nice appliances, an elevator (you don't know how great that is unless you've carried all your stuff up an Edinburgh tenement stair without one, ha!) and a spotlessly clean, spacious flat with a gorgeous view of Arthur's Seat.
As we were travelling with teens, we particularly appreciated having two bedrooms and two separate bathrooms, both of which were really clean and nice. The balcony provided a great way to get some fresh air and sunshine; we enjoyed our morning coffees out there. We didn't make use of the parking, but if we'd rented a car, that would have been huge as it can otherwise be tricky to park around the city.
The flat is extremely convenient to groceries (a little "back way" will take you quickly to Sainsbury's). We like walking, so we considered it quite convenient to Holyrood Park (15 minutes or so), London Road, St. James Center, etc. If you didn't want to do much walking at all, it's easy to get to the #35 and #1 buses. We love Edinburgh, and we really went all over the place with this comfortable, spacious flat as our home base!
