We loved staying with Sandra. From the beginning she was incredibly helpful, provided lots of information about the area (as she is a tour guide in Edinburgh!), and made us feel very welcome in her home. We also loved her cats, who were super friendly and kept us company whenever we were home. Her apartment was in a convenient location and was about a 10-15 minute walk from Princes Street and the Royal Mile, which was great and we never needed local transportation. Sandra was a great host and really made us feel comfortable in her home and I would definitely recommend her to anyone traveling to Edinburgh.
