I didn't have any actual personal interaction with Samir other than via email, but he was always prompt to respond, friendly, and gave me very clear instructions on how to find the flat.

The flat itself is great. It's not very big - what you see in the pictures is literally the whole place - however as a solo traveler, it was more than enough.

The bus lines are close and I recommend learning how to use them in order to get into the city center because it's an uphill walk through New Town to get to the touristy spots. The walk back - as it's downhill - is a breeze.

If you're looking for somewhere to stay, I absolutely recommend Samir's flat - it's quiet, but centrally located. As my first ever Airbnb, it will be hard to beat.
