Eva was very welcoming at the beginning, with a map and many great suggestions on places to eat, things to do and see!I took her suggestions on many things, and was very pleased with my experience over the 2 days. I felt very safe in her apartment complex, walking there at day and night. The room was quite large, as seen in the picture. I was surprised by the size of the sofa. From the angle of the photo, I thought this would be bigger, enough for a person to sleep on, but it turns out it is small and very low to the floor to be comfortable to sit on for a long amount of time. The room is airy and has great light from the window, but a nice thick curtain to block out the light in the morning hours. The whole apartment is very clean and tidy. I did feel a little worried about making a mess, and had to make sure to clean up after myself. I wish my room had a key and lock, just for my own security, but I did feel that my belongings were safe there during the day when I was touring around Edinburgh.
