I booked Catherine's space because I was attending every festival. I knew I would be running around seeing numerous shows, and returning quite late in the evening. The room was the exact antidote to type feet and weary body. It was wonderfully clean and the bed was just amazing to sleep in. I had everything I needed included an understandable and attentive host who did everything to make sure my stay was brilliant and to help me with anything I needed. Even turning the heating on when the evening turned chilly so I returned at 1 a.m. in the morning to a lovely warm room.
There are a few flights of stairs in order to get to this beautiful room, so just be warned if you don't have a knees for it. But it is wonderful once you get there so totally worth it! Location is brilliant in terms of being quite Central to where I needed to be, plenty of places to eat along the way locally and buses that go everywhere.
Was almost sad to have left Edinburgh as I really enjoyed my stay there and the chat I had with Catherine. She's definitely a host who cares about the visitors experience which is reassuring when you are staying in somebody else's home.
Would absolutely recommend her as a host. :)
