When we arrived at the place, Colin was there already, making sure everything was up and running. He gave us tips on local bars and restaurants and was very accessible during all our stay. Colin's apartment is a very stylish and well decorated top floor flat (not too many flights of stairs and with a nice view of the city - so only pros, no cons) in a very characteristic Edinburgh building. So it has the best of two worlds in my opinion: old and new living in harmony. Overall the flat is extremely comfortable: pretty warm, with good insulation. The shower is great as well. The place is around 15min walk from the train station (easy if you have not much luggage) and close to a cafe that we loved for breakfast - its name is Word of Mouth (check their Croqué Madame - if Colin's place were a food, it would be that one for sure lol). The next time I will be in Edinburgh, I'll stay at Colin's place for sure.
