Albert is a lovely person and his flat is an excellent place to stay and get to know Edinburgh. The room is clean, bright, and airy, and the location is excellent - minutes away from Princes St and its delights (National Gallery, good views of the castle, easy access to Waverly Station). There are just two things to bear in mind when deciding whether to stay: 1) the bathroom has no mirror which can make shaving slightly difficult and 2) being so centrally located, it can get a little loud on weekend nights. But overall, the positives far outweigh the negatives, and I'd highly recommend this as a good value place to stay in Edinburgh.
