I had a wonderful stay at Alison's place - the neighbourhood was absolutely lovely (lots of great coffee shops and restaurants nearby) and only a short walk from the city centre. The bed was so comfortable and I appreciated the extra details provided by the host including fresh flowers, a converter plug, hair dryer, iron (and ironing board), book with maps and local guidebooks/brochures and a spread of tea, coffee, milk, sugar and kettle. If I return to Edinburgh, I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
