Helen is indeed a super host. She was easy to communicate with, and overall very helpful. She even helped me with my luggage up the stairs (at age 52, my back is not strong anymore). Importantly, she accommodated my allergies to synthetic chemicals and used ecologically safe, plant-based, unscented, healthy cleaning products before my arrival. This space had none of the toxic, problematic fragrances that can lurk in so many Airbnbs, hotels etc. It was wonderful to be able to sleep in the bed linens without worrying about the fabric softener or leftover chemical residue of the typical synthetic, petroleum-based laundry detergents aggravating my lungs. I normally have to use my own bed sleep sack and pillowcases that I travel with and I didn't have to do that with her linens. Excellent neighborhood and location, too, with a park across the street. How truly refreshing a vacation in lovely Edinburgh for the Fringe festival!
