Albert was flexible with my arrival, which made things easy. I was visiting Edinburgh for the festival, so having Albert as the host was a bonus, as he is a music fan and knew a lot about the classical concerts I was planning on attending (and provided a good recommendation for a recital around the corner).

The main advantage of the room (which is bright and clean) is its location in the centre of the city, just off Princes Street. Depending on the time of year, be aware that this could be a drawback as well, since the noise from the street can carry into the room, which is on the first floor. I found this noticeable on Saturday night, but not a problem on Sunday or Monday. Of course, this was at the height of the Edinburgh Festival, and I wouldn't think it to be an issue for most of the year.
It was nice to have this central location and welcoming host!
