Mary was an excellent host. My phone died a couple of days before arriving in Edinburgh, and it forced me to change my plans a bit. Mary was extremely understanding and accommodating. When I finally got there, she very generously made me some tea and we sat and talked for a bit, which helped ease the stress of a long travelling day. The room is no-frills, but I had everything I needed. It's very easy to walk or take the bus into the center of town, and there are plenty of shops and restaurants within a couple of minutes for that morning cup of coffee or evening pint. All in all, I had an excellent stay, and I'd recommend staying here to anyone. Thanks, Mary!
