We're a couple with a one-year-old hiking Hadrian's Wall and then enjoying a few days in Edinburgh--we stayed two wonderful nights with Ian and really appreciated his insider tips for seeing the city and his warm, welcoming personality.
Host: Ian welcomed us with tea and pie and the rest was history. We really enjoyed getting to know him and had some fantastic conversations about life, travel and everything else!
Space: The attic room was a perfect retreat for us and our son--the hammock was an especially nice touch!--and the blackout shades on the windows helped us all get some much-needed sleep despite the crazy early summer sun.
Bed: Very comfortable.
Bath: Shared space, very clean, electric shower and tub--decent pressure and plenty of hot water.
Location: a 15-20 minute walk from the city center and well connected on multiple bus routes, this was a great base from which to explore the city.
We really enjoyed our time with Ian and in the beautiful, history-rich city of Edinburgh!
