Ian was an incredible host! Due to delayed flights, we arrived very very late at night, however he was still more than happy to check us in and greet us! Throughout our stay, he was always helpful in giving us advice on where to go and what to do. We even got to go to a pub with him which was really fun for us! The area is a great area, it's slightly outside the main touristy area so you have access to cheaper food and such, but it's still a very close walk to the Castle, Princes Street, and more. Right around the corner is a beautiful open park, The Meadows, which is an amazing place to picnic! The room itself is on a separate floor, so if you like your privacy there's no problem with that at all~
