Sarah was a great host! We were unclear about when we would check in and changed our times twice (once even the night before), but Sarah was always very happy to accommodate and fast to respond. The location is ~20 minute walk to the city center and a ~30-40 minute walk from both Edinburgh Castle and Arthur's Seat. It was great being able to stop and go and take in the sights at our own pace, so we highly appreciated the walkability! The doocot itself is so magical! It is located just a short walk's away from Sarah's place, but was private and quiet and surrounded by a lovely garden. Sarah took the time to explain the history of the doocot which we loved! There is a kitchen with a stove top, microwave, sink, dishes and silverware; TV; and a washer in the bathroom. The washer was a pleasant surprise, as Edinburgh was at the halfway point of our trip. We were delighted to be able to wash our clothes! There is no dryer, but there are plenty of hooks in the warm bathroom for hanging things up to dry, we had no issues with wet clothes as long as you provide ample time for this. We were simply amazed by the bathroom - it was modern, comfortably warm, with heated towels! The bedroom is on the second floor and is very private and cozy - perfect for a romantic getaway (we stayed for Valentine's Day)! Sarah also provided lists or recommended restaurants that were nearby. All in all, we had a pleasant time and can say with all honesty that the doocot was one of the best highlights of our stay in Edinburgh. I highly recommend Sarah - she and the doocot were fabulous!
