The stay at George's place was just as described. It is close and walkable to most of the city as well as having easy access to busses. We were able to walk from the train station (about 4 blocks), note that there are some hills and steps involved. Also, as noted in the listing, there is some noise from the city. But overall this was a great stay and just what we were looking for. George was a wonderful host with good communication and availability. I would absolutely stay here again if visiting Edinburgh in the future.
