Positives:
Ather was a very friendly host who responded quickly and was very accommodating. His apartment is indeed conveniently located right next to a bus stop. Ather was also enthusiastic about the city and we had a good chat with him and his friend. His recommendations were spot on and we had a great day in Edinburgh.

Areas of Improvement:
- The room is pretty basic and only currently has a bed. It could definitely use a side table or two.
- We felt very cold in the apartment when we returned in the evening. This is because the heater is on only 2 hrs in the AM and PM. Guests should not have to plan their day based on when the apartment is of a reasonable temperature or not. Edinburgh can get pretty cold even on days that are supposed to be summer
- Ran out of hot water in the middle of a shower, which was not a good experience, especially because the apartment was already too cold to begin with.

Overall, I would say the location is excellent and Ather is a friendly and responsive host, but the above issues in the apartment need to be fixed to go from average to great.
