I really enjoyed my stay in the apartment and Graham was a warm host with a lot of interest in my stay in Edinburgh. I really get the feeling he is not renting out the room for money, but for interest in the people staying there. He even asked if I would like to go on a long walk on the weekend with him and some friends and go for table tennis at the end of a working day.
I felt like I was just staying at a friend's apartment and had access to a full kitchen(with provided breakfast), bathroom with towels for me and access to the living room.
The room had everything I needed for my stay with a fine double bed and storage provided as well. It was clean, bright and a good quiet place to relax after a long day in Edinburgh. The bed could be a bit too short for taller people than me(180cm), but other than that I was fully satisfied with what was provided.
The area is great for people not looking for staying in the more noisy city centre and a charming place where "real people of Edinburgh live" not at all crowded with tourists, but instead grown ups, families and university students. Also grocery shopping is only a couple of minutes away, which is great if you are on a budget like I was.
I would prefer this to Old Town any time as it is near to green areas, the Meadows, and is easily within walking distance to the city centre.
