This is a great home base for exploring Edinburgh. It is within walking distance of any and everything you would want to do to see the city. The only negatives we felt can’t be helped. If you stay here which we recommend, bring earplugs for sleeping. There is the occasional rowdiness you can hear from people on the street late at night. And the spiral staircase can be tricky with a great big suitcase but what can you do :) Those two things are mere heads ups than anything else. Communication from Jason and his local contact were timely and helpful. We were looking to check in a little bit early and lucked out that all was good so we received a prompt response that we could go on in to the flat. We also really appreciated the binder left by our host with all sorts of recommendations for restaurants, bars, sites, taxis and even shopping. We highly recommend this as your stay in Edinburgh.
