Brett's mum who keeps the house is just lovely. So welcoming and hospitable. She will go out of her way to cook the kind of breakfast you would like and is generally very sweet. I really liked her!
The apartment is clean and quite nice. The bedroom gets a lot of light too.
I didn't read up on Edinburgh properly - this is a bit farther away from the Royal Mile/Old City than I thought. About 25 minute walk. Most of the stuff is around Waverly station and this place is near Haymarket station. It is very well-connected by train/bus but you can't just run back to the apartment and back in the middle of the day.
