Our stay was great. Pete and his wife were always there to help us, answer our questions, give us tips on what to visit, etc. The room is small, but comfortable and well furnished. They let us use the kitchen, and with a supermarket only a few minutes walk, we could cook meals for ourselves. They also let us use their washing machine, although since they don't own a dryer, be prepared to hang your clothes and wait for them to dry. The house is a little out of the town center, but with multiple bus stops right next to the house, it's not a problem at all. I'd readily reccomend it to anyone travelling alone or in pairs in Edinburgh.
