I can only recommend to stay with Alex, while visiting Edinburgh!
Nice and neat place, very welcoming and cordial host, room equipped like a 4* Hotel for a perfect price and great location with a lot of nice places to eat and drink close around plus Alex has all necessary information already prepared so you can almost immediately take off and take one of the busses to go downtown (so easy) and explore the beautiful city! I had great fun and Alex really knows a lot about the history of Edinburgh what made the stay even better, I suggest to ask him if he got some time and feels like telling you a bit about it. All I can say is thank you for making my time in Edinburgh unforgettable and for being such an amazing host!
