This was an excellent place to stay for a long weekend in Edinburgh, and was nice and toasty even when it was below freezing outside. The area seems pretty studenty, and nice and safe, and there are plenty of buses too. There's a nice walk along the canal too.
We had everything we needed there, and getting in and out was great. The shower was also fantastic, and Asad was communicative too - I needed to trip one of fuses back on after i managed to trip the circuit ....
Overall, this is a great place, and my wife and I can easily recommend it.
