Alana is a lovely host. She made us feel very comfortable and she was very thoughful in her communication with us prior to arrival. Although the flat is situated about 30 minutes walk from the old town, we actually enjoyed the stroll, it was good to discover the 'normal Edinburgh', beyond the touristic city.
I normally have real problems sleeping when I am not in my own bed, however, amazingly, I was able to sleep quite well at Alana's. The street is quiet, and the flat's thick walls offer good sound insulation from within as well.
Next time we go to Edinburgh, we would be more than happy to stay in the same place. Excellent value for money.
