Elaina is a wonderful host and her place is beautifully simple and zen-like. I loved it. I was in the bigger room with a window out to the road. The windows are very well insulated so with the window shut the room was fairly quiet. The location is amazing, it's very close to Arthur's Seat. To the old town it's a fairly straightforward 20-minute walk - only drawback is that the shortest way is along the royal mile, not so much fun with the crowds in the afternoons. Otherwise, I found everything pretty walkable. Great place and great host, highly recommended!
