We spent a week at Rosie's in mid-October and our stay was quite pleasant.
Below are a couple descriptions for what we think would be the most important considerations.
Bed:
The bed, although a pull-out couch, is mysteriously magical for a good night's sleep. Both of us slept very well and awoke rested every morning.
Location:
Super. The walk into the city center is a little over an hour (which we did and enjoyed), but the house is right on a bunch of bus lines! Using the bus system is VERY easy and convenient. There are several gyms within a 10 minute walk, a plethora of supermarkets and some very interesting local shops / cafés in the immediate vicinity.
Right across the road is an acceas to the "Waters of Leith" walkway which is a gorgeous river walk going all the way to the ocean on the other side of the city.
So expect to be slightly outside the city center but know you are unhindered!
Host(s):
Very good
Rosie and her family were friendly and helpful.
Everyone was easy to talk to and we had several very enjoyable chats with the family!
The room is right next to the living room and kitchen, so you might or might not interact with the family depending on eating habits and general comings and goings.
There is a dog and a cat, and they are both really sweet.
Rosie is very responsive and she gave us good recommendations for places to go!
Kitchen & Bathroom:
The bathroom is used almost only by AirBnB guests, so there's a feeling like it's more private than most other "shared" bathrooms would be.
The shower was easy to control for pressure and temperature
The kitchen is spacious and has anything you might need if you plan to prepare some meals at the house. There is a bit of space in the refrigerator if you need to chill items and other items can easily be stored in the room.
Cleanliness:
We found everything to be perfectly reasonable with cleanliness. Nothing was dirty or out of place.
This is a family home with children and pets, so having hotel-level spotlessness shouldn't be expected, but everything was tidy and organized. The space is lived in and feels lived in, and that isn't a bad thing.
