First of all, Rebecca allowed us to check in earlier than the usual time which was really good, as otherwise we would have had to figure out what to do with all our luggage (our plane arrived at 10am). I think this was because there had been no one staying the previous night.
The place was as described and was in an excellent location. It was close enough to the city centre to be able to walk to most of the attractions, and just a short walk (10mins) from tram and bus stops if you wanted to use public transport.
We got the place last minute on quite a cheap rate, but don't think we would have paid the usual £108 a night price. From looking at the reviews, it sounds like when Rebecca first started renting this property, she made more of an effort to make the stay a little more special, by leaving some essential food supplies, which doesn't seem to be the case any more. There was just a smelly cupboard of food stuff that previous guests had obviously left. The cooking facilities made it difficult to cook anything as all the temperatures have been rubbed off the dial on the oven and there aren't many decent pots and pans.
The towels and bedding were clean. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, however, we unfortunately found it slightly difficult to sleep because we found the place a little creepy for reasons I won't go into.
Rebecca left some useful information regarding restaurants, bars and local attractions which was helpful. We also found a lovely Turkish restaurant called Kezban, which is located in Leith, just a short bus ride or 25 minute walk away. This is a must! The food was delicious and the lady was lovely. Overall, it was a good place to stay for the price we paid.
