Where do I start.. my partner and I came to Edinburgh for the first time and were looking for a place that was affordable, in a great location, and with a kind host where we could feel comfortable leaving our suitcases for the day. Freddie and his place were that and more!
1) Location is phenomenal: you are on a street that has cafes, pubs, and restaurants. I noticed in another review that it’s not the quietest, but please remember you are in a city. If anything, this is most certainly quieter than places close to the bars - this area feels more local and quaint. I come from a big city so sleeping through that was nothing :)
2) Freddie is just the absolute sweetest and kindest person - thank you for picking us up late at night from the train station (even an hour and 40 mins delayed), giving recommendations, and for gifting us tea cakes. The only thing we wish we could have done more was go out and grab a pint with you!
3) Affordable and a great place to rest your head at night. If you’re looking for an affordable place that you can head out for the day exploring, and come back to access your basic amenities, look no further. Bed, closet, towels, bathroom/shower, kitchen and even a small little fridge is provided.
We highly recommend this place! Accessibility wise, there are a few flights of stairs to go up to get to their flat.
