This place is everything Henry said it would be. Very quaint and quirky. It was a good location close to Haymarket train stop which worked for us. Small groceries nearby. It was a bit of a walk to Waverly. We did on and off busses and figured out Lothian Way and Usher Hall was closest to the house. We did do wash which was nice. Lidia who met us and is the housekeeper was awesome and helped resolve several electrical issues. There is a massage studio and Vietnamese restaurant right down the street. We shopped at Haymarket for groceries. The kitchen was equipped and we did our breakfast and dinner there. They also have a hairdryer which is a plus. Shower was roomier than most. We are healthy, active 65+ year olds. The steps to the bedroom were a bit much. VERY narrow and difficult and dangerous to bring luggage up and down Also the bathroom is downstairs so we hated getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. The worst part of the place was a location next to a very loud thoroughfare where cars ran all night long. It runs right next to house but much lower so the sound was pronounced. The stairs and noise all day especially upstairs would prevent me from renting this location again and hence the lower rating.
