Given the low price I wasn't expecting much, but actually it's really nice. It's a basement room in a private house, bigger than it looks in the pics and I thought that whole house had a warm friendly feel. The area, Marchmont, has frequent buses and is pretty up market with nice shops, and loads of eateries to the West, which are a nice walk across parkland.
Excellent wifi, and a good shower! There's free fruit and a communal fridge next to the room too.
