Good location if you have a car, but a bit tired looking and basic inside the flat. We were able to park (no cost) on the streets near the flat despite it being August, and it was easy to get a bus into the city centre, and peaceful at night, so location overall was good. Eric was a good host, replying quickly and giving tips on nearby places to go. However, compared to other similarly prices places we have stayed in Edinburgh, the accommodation itself was only adequate. These might not be things that bother everyone. For example, the kitchen was tiny, and would have been difficult to cook in, the bedroom was small and you have to squeeze round the side to get in, no bedside lamps, the only mirror at normal height had no plug in the same room as it (difficult for hairdrying), the towels were a bit old and getting threadbare, and the bedding was not good quality. No teapot and no coffee machine (but the description does not say otherwise, its just the first time we have come accross a flat without them). Shower was not that clean, although worked well. Overall, the flat was not terrible, but i dont think we would rush to stay here again.
