This flat is almost perfect! The location is very secure, the host has thought of everything to make guests comfortable, and the lodgings are very nice and modern. The host not only has supplied almost every toiletry imaginable (soaps, toothpaste, shampoo, body wash, etc) but even those that most wouldn’t think of (women’s products in an emergency, hair styling products, body wipes, etc). The flat is also stocked with coffee, tea, snacks, bags for popping around to the supermarket, a combo washer/dryer, and a nice “office area” just off the main room (great for someone who may need to get work done while on vacation/holiday).
This flat is the perfect location to all the attractions, restaurants, and shopping in Edinburgh - the bus stop is within walking distance (a little further than usual with the road construction but absolutely doable in about 10 minutes time). The buses are frequent and probably the most affordable way to get around Edinburgh (except for walking, of course). The workers in the local shops and pubs below the flat are very kind and were willing to help us Americans with directions and instructions on catching the buses.
The host is quick to reply to messages and is so very courteous and kind. She was willing to help us out no matter what time of day. We will absolutely stay here again on our next visit! Thank you for everything!!
