Excellent host very knowledgeable about the local area and events. Although I did not meet Dmitriy himself, he organised the key exchange, a welcome and accommodated my last minute change of plans.
The accommodation is in a central location just round the corner from Grassmarket, although you can't see the castle from the flat there is a communal entrance garden with stunning views.
The flat itself is a clean standard studio flat, nothing exciting but perfectly suitable and represented by the pictures.
