It was a good experience to be at Hazel's. She gives you the space to be on your own. She would give away the keys of the house, allow you to come any point of the day/night, provide you with the basics for the morning tea/coffee and make you feel home.
The only problem that I faced is the distance from Princes Street. It is at least 15 minutes in bus and the only bus that goes to her place is 19. I really had to rush for this bus every night because it arrives only in the gap of 20 minutes. It is really painful to run every night to get back home. I had a friend who waited along with me at the bus stop till I got one whenever I got late. Walking distance from Princes Street is no less than 35/40 minutes. So if you are going for a weekend, be mentally prepared to cover the distance. Rest is wonderful. Hazel is truly a wonderful person. She dropped me to Scottish Museum the day I reached as she was heading towards city centre. I wish her all the best :)
