Drew and Tom's place is all that it promises to be and more. I absolutely enjoyed my stay with them, and would whole heartedly recommend it as a perfect home away form home in Edinburgh.
The location was delightful. Close enough to easily walk down to the main streets (about 20-25 minutes), but peaceful and with true neighborhood vibes.
I appreciated the personal recommendations for sights and restaurants. It felt especially nice to go to amazing restaurants right within the neighborhood. Everywhere we went on their recommendation list was a delight. (Especially the full Scottish breakfast at Smokey Joe's).
The room itself was surprisingly large. There is more than enough room for two people with large suitcases to comfortably settle in and lay out all of their belongings. Everything was clean and stylish and thoughtful. There were beautiful fresh flowers and even a wee dram of whiskey to set up a very warm welcome.
The shared full bathroom was conveniently across from the room and truly felt like a private bath. There was always hot water when we needed it, and the provided shampoo and soap were really lovely.
Their cats were adorable and made me feel so at home when I got to sit with and pet them. But for anyone who is allergic or not a fan of cats, they certainly stay away from the guest room and tend to make themselves scarce because they are out enjoying the neighborhood.
If you have any further questions you can just ask Tom and Drew; they are always quick to respond with thorough and helpful answers.
