Area is fine and convenient for Central Edinburgh. Key pick up arrangements were clear and easy. Rooms are very small and it would be very tight for 8 people - we had 5 people which was just about manageable if you are out of the flat most of the time.

There was only a small amount of toilet roll and no spare which was very inconvenient when coming home from an evening out! No iron available (although an empty box for it was there). Didn't use the kitchen but it lacks any dry goods you sometimes get (e.g. tea bags, instant coffee) although reasonable for glasses etc.
