Michal is a great host and his apartment is very stylish and cosy. The building its in a quite old and could do with a bit of love, but the apartment itself is completely different so don’t let it out you off! The apartment is about a 25 minute walk to Edinburgh central, or a 8 or so minute bus ride. There are plenty of shops a few minutes walk away from the apartment so should you wish to stay in and cook, you can! However, there are also lots of restaurants (I recommend the Chop House if you like steak, they also offer weekly deals) along the main road, only a few minutes walk from the apartment. I found communicating with Michal very easy, he often replied in less than an hour and the extra touches in the apartment were great (tea, coffee etc). Definitely recommend this place!
