Even though we did not meet personally Mike and Pauline seemed friendly and catered to our needs as requested. They went out of their way to be polite as they not only own a clean, spacious and comfortable establishment they also offered as a gift in the form of a delicious wine and salted caramel sticks.
We arrived pretty late at night as our flight landed at about 11:30 PM. Late arrival is no issue as they own a key safe located right outside the door.
The flat is located at the ground floor of the building. The hosts offer the essentials (towels, sheets, internet connection etc) in addition to a mini fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, water heater, coffee machine and a fully equipped living room and bathroom.
Hot water is available 24/7 and heating is on a default cycle functioning on specific times during the day. The hosts offer to manipulate the heating schedule to the guest's wishes if the need arises. It's worth mentioning that there is ample space for parking if the guest owns a car as well.
The location worked fine for us, though it is not located at the center of Edinburgh we went everywhere on foot. The city is laid out in a way that promotes walking so we found it very enjoyable. There are bus stops and a taxi rank nearby for those that do not want to bother with walking. A variety of shops is in close proximity as well in case you want to get a coffee, buy something to eat etc.
Lastly, the hosts answered quickly to our queries and were very accommodating. I am sure they will strive to assist to the best of their ability regarding any concern. I rate the place a 5/5 and the city itself an 11/10.
