I stayed with Fran for 6 nights and so for it's been the best Airbnb experience I've had. The apartment was great and my was clean and cozy. Kitchen and appliances etc. were also clean and easy to use. Fran and his flatmates made me feel welcome at the apartment. They gave me tips on things to do in Edinburgh, which bars and restaurants to visit etc. I ended up relaxing with them a few nights also, watching soccer, and on Sunday Fran was nice enough to take me on a hike about 30min outside of Edinburgh. It was a perfect mix of flat interaction and doing my own thing as I was there primarily on a research trip.

The neighborhood is great, lots of nice cafes and restaurants, a couple of parks, and a couple of small supermarkets around. Walk to the medieval city center was a casual 15 minutes, same to Waverley station, and maybe another 10 minutes to Holyrood Park.

Would definitely stay again if in Edinburgh!
