Monica was absolutely wonderful - very prompt replies from the first message onwards. I actually had booked this room last year and had to cancel due to Covid however booked it again and she remembered me, which was so lovely! She was incredibly friendly, allowed me to have my own space but we had some nice chats if we bumped into each other in the corridor. Even though she is living upstairs with her young children I didn’t feel disturbed at all as they were quiet and considerate. The room itself was beautiful and bright, and the futon was really comfortable and warm. The bathroom was clean and the shower was incredible!!! Nice and hot and powerful. I shared the bathroom with another guest but didn’t see them the whole time I was there (2 nights) so I felt like I had the bathroom to myself. The walk into central Edinburgh took less than 15 minutes and the area felt safe for a woman (me!) walking at night, which was a bonus. All in all 10/10, really great value for money and a really lovely host! Thank you again 💕💕
