I made a one week trip to Edinburgh and stayed at Alex‘s place. For me it was the perfect place to stay at.
There are really good bus connections to the city (takes about 15 min to get there).
Leith is very quiet and I was glad to get away from the fuss of the city after a long day.
Alex was really friendly and helpful with every question I had.
The room and bathroom were both perfectly clean and homy.
I would definitely recommend it to anybody wanting to visit Edinburgh.
