We really liked the house and the location. The house had a lived-in feel and really suited our family.
The location (off Leith Walk) is very cool and has a mix of regular shops, bars and cafes etc, which our family really enjoyed. It’s also a very manageable and pleasant 25 minute walk into Edinburgh city centre. It will also benefit from the new tram currently being constructed along Leith Walk into the city centre.
Although check in and out was very easy (and the host kindly facilitated an 11 am check out rather than the stated 10 am check out), communication with the host otherwise was not great. For example, two messages sent to her asking for local restaurant recommendations went unanswered.
That said, we greatly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the house to family groups like us (2 adults and 3 teenage children).
