My stay at Iryna's place during my recent visit to Edinburgh was incredible. The area where her apartment is situated is super quiet and safe. The room is cozy and the apartment has a sizable living space and kitchen. One can hop on the bus and be downtown in less than 15 minutes. There is also a beautiful foot trail from literally outside her front-door that a guest can walk and reach central Edinburgh in about 25 minutes (preferred option for me). For those who like to explore Edinburgh and the amazing Leith Shore area (only 10 minutes walk away), but still wish to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and prefer to come home at night to a quiet and clean environment, Iryna's place is the best option.
As a host she is always willing to help and is super generous and kind. She is very adventurous herself, often visiting interesting places around the city and will thus will give you very useful tips on places to visit etc. I hope to stay at her place next time I visit Edinburgh as well.
