We had the loveliest stay at Maxine's cosy home. There were so many nice touches when we arrived -- with a wee hamper to explore, which included coffee, teas, guidebooks and ... especially a treat ... Edinburgh Gin. We needed to check in early due to a wedding and Maxine was really helpful and responsive in meeting us early so we could get our key.
I would highly recommend staying at Maxine's. The room was peaceful, with easy access to all the cafes in Morningside and the Hermitage of Braid walks close by. Maxine was an absolute star of a host too.
