My wife and I traveled from the US to Edinburgh for a program I was starting at the University of Edinburgh's King's Buildings campus in late September. In the midst of flat hunting (which is a dismal affair - prospective students beware!), we had to find a quick place to stay after not finding anywhere to live for a week and a half. Javed's pricing was reasonable, the room was exactly what was described (the bathroom felt bigger than the bedroom!), and provided nice privacy for us both. I actively enjoyed my conversations with him, as he was open, intelligent, and friendly - and I never felt like the home was crowded (it was quite a big home, actually) despite there being quite a few people who were staying there at the same time. His family was also quite friendly, and were polite and easy to talk to. The neighborhood was quiet, and was linked to Old Dalkeith, a main vein into central Edinburgh (allows for easy bus access). The house was also close to Cameron Toll, which is great for groceries and anything else one would need. I felt I discovered a nice little secret, this place, and would feel comfortable approaching Javed if we were ever in need of a place to stay again.
