Diane was a fantastic host - she is chatty and attentive! We found her house to be wonderfully peaceful and clean after a big messy day spent at the Fringe Festival in the centre of town.
The house is not too far from bus routes into the centre of town (between 10 and 25 minutes depending on traffic), and Diane was really helpful in letting us know where the bus stops were.
Diane even provided bread, tea/coffee and homemade jam so that we didn't have to trek out to the supermarket to find food (we arrived quite late). It was lovely to have a space with a garden and a local chippy.
This is not the place for you if you want to be dead in the centre of everything, but if you are looking for a place in 'proper' Edinburgh, a little bit away from the tourist noise, and you still want a view of Arthur's Seat from the living room, then this will be the stop for you! I would not hesitate to stay with Diane again!
