Elaine is a great, very friendly host and the room is a good size with a very comfortable bed. Tea and coffee were provided and milk was available in the fridge. As there is a streetlight directly opposite the room, there is a blackout blind so the light isn't an issue at night. Given that I stayed in November, there was also an electric blanket available in the room and an additional heater for when the central heating was off at night.
I have stayed in many places where the bathroom is an issue with poor pressure in the shower and the water not being hot. Let's be clear here, Elaine's place is the complete opposite. There is no need to worry about anything here. The bathroom isn't en-suite but is directly opposite the bedroom and is for the guest's private use. I personally have no problem with this.
Having visited Edinburgh many times and knowing the city fairly well, I didn't need to ask Elaine anything about this but on the welcome she made a point of saying that I could ask her anything and I have full confidence that she would be able to help anybody else.
All told, a great stay and I place I will look to stay in again when I return to Edinburgh.
