Ali was a fantastic host, very welcoming and responsive to questions. The apartment was great, with everything needed for a short stay. I made great use of the mini kitchen, especially the kettle and toaster.
It is in a fantastic central location, in easy walking distance of main sights and attractions and with a handy Sainsbury's local a couple of minutes down the road.
It is in a bit of a noisy neighbourhood, with bars just around the corner, so pack some ear plugs!
If I was to come to Edinburgh again, Ali's place would be the first place I would look at for accommodation.
