I can't ask for a better base for my Edinburgh trip. Mary's place is in an excellent location - short distance from city center and nice neghborhood. The room + bed are very comfy, and just what I needed. Mary is very nice and I love our little chats! Her housemate Attica also kindly printed a document for me - which I really appreciate. Her shower + toilet are a little funky but she explains things really clearly on my first day - and they're completely usable. Although if you're tall, the shower might be difficult to use since the shower is in a short attic. But that wasn't a problem for me. Overall - highly recommended; very good value!
