Stayed for 2 weeks in this flat with my son while flat-hunting for him, and it was perfect for our needs. The flat: it was cheerful, got good light, was very functional (no unnecessary clutter) and was warm and quiet. We cooked a lot (Tesco Express is about a 7-10 minute walk away) and we found everything we needed in the kitchen. The living room had an extendable table we opened up and used for remote work (wifi worked well too). Never ran out of hot water for showers. The owners: Debbie and Stuart are really pleasant, super fast in responding to messages, and quickly supplied anything we were missing, in our case, a coffee pot and they even brought by a new TV (and HDMI cord for streaming from computers) so disregard previous reviews about TV turning on in the middle of the night! Noise: In terms of trams and trains, yes you can hear them go by, especially if the windows are open. However, the bedrooms are located on the other side of the house (not facing the rail lines), so even though I am super picky about noise in general and especially at night, this was not a problem. And it was actually kind of nice to see the trams go by at night from the kitchen window! The area is very quiet (it looks out on one side on a paved bike and pedestrian path and other on small parking lot) and we never heard noise from neighbors. Location: you are about a 7-minute walk from the Haymarket train station (loads of buslines and a tram stop there). Princes Street is an easy 30-minute walk, if you don't feel like taking public trans to the center. The paths and streets you can walk on to get to the flat from Haymarket are not heavily travelled, so as a woman, I tried to avoid walking by myself at night. That said, I did see single women walking after dark, so it is probably fine, and at no point did I ever see anyone sketchy walking there. If you like walking for exercise, note that the Roseburn path and the Leith Waterway Walk are a stone's throw from the flat. For swimmers, the Dalry Swim Center is a 10-minute walk away and easy to use. I went often to relax from the stress of flat hunting, and enjoyed walking to the pool down Dalry Road, which is a stretch full of shops and restaurants from all over the world. Highly recommend this flat, its location and the owners!
