The room is in a flat shared by others with a communal bathroom and kitchen. During my stay I briefly met some other guests in passing but otherwise seemed to have the run of the flat to myself. The room provided is clean, comfortable and securable and, along with the rest of the flat, has some quirky & trendy touches. It's the sort of place I'd have loved to live in with friends during my 20s! The kitchen is stocked with essentials (milk, bread, cereals, tea & coffee etc..) which are free to use and has all the equipment you might need to cook a meal. Arrival and check-in was well described and easy. The location is simply superb for central Edinburgh with everywhere you might possibly want to visit within 10-15 mins walk. Other reviewers have mentioned the noise from the bar below during late evening and this was certainly the case although I tend to sleep easily through things like that and ear plugs were provided if this is something you'd find difficult. I would certainly stay there again if visiting Edinburgh which is about the best recommendation any visitor can give!
