Already when I found Sam's place on map, I knew it's the best choice I could make. If you're looking for a neat accomodation in a quiet area, but still very close to Edinburgh's attractions (you'll even have a view on Salisbury Crags from the window) - there you are, all marks checked. It's a good value for the money, too. If somehow you're not convinced yet, communication with Sam is another advantage I have to mention about. He's a great host, thinking about every single detail you can imagine and making it very clear for you; checking in and out, rules at home, all possible instructions how to use household objects - again, all checked. The only thing I can do after staying at Sam's place is to recommend it wholeheartedly.
