This large yellow room is a fabulous place to stay and a great base from which to explore Edinburgh. The room is in a heritage building and feels light and bright. Plenty of place to sit and chill, work or laze about after walking around.
The neighbourhood was also great with a huge variety of restaurants to choose from at prices that are better than in the centre and more touristed areas. The walk to the Royal Mile or Princes Street is great and took me about 10 minutes, but there are sights and shops and people to see along the way. I was at a congress at the EICC and it was a pleasant 20 minute walk there daily.
Natalia and Ken were fantastic and generous hosts but also left me to my own devices when I wanted. I was very happy staying here and the value for money was excellent.
Two wee criticisms:
1. I struggled to get in when I first arrived. A key box would have been great as without connectivity it was not easy to communicate, but perhaps I could have been more organised from the get go.
2. I would have liked to have been able to open the windows. I tried but could not, but did not raise this as it was not a major issue.
If I return to Edinburgh again, I would not look for anywhere else to stay. I know I would have a home in the big yellow room and I would not hesitate to return!
