Di was very flexible with check-in and check-out, and was extremely quick to respond to messages/our booking request. Her apartment is tidy. It's a bit far from central Edinburgh but is reasonably serviced by bus.

That said, there were some oddities with our stay. Her fridge is often turned off at night and isn't useful to store things that spoil in (my yogurt was off in the morning after she turned off the fridge at 11:30pm). The kitchen feels off-limits; everything, even the soap, is tucked away and there isn't an inviting sense to the place at all--her doors, including the living room, are constantly closed and it feels more like you're staying in a hotel room than a house. She also has loud speakerphone conversations throughout the day that are quite distracting. The internet is spotty--it works but don't expect to be productive with it. The apartment wasn't COLD but the heat is almost never on.

The cleanliness in the apartment is almost weird; everything is kept absolutely spotlessly clean at ALL times and it makes the kitchen feel like it can't be used as if you left a pan in the sink you'd be in trouble.

Oddly once you check in, Di has almost no contact with you. She left, seemingly for days, and we didn't know.

It feels very much like you're not staying in someone's home, just being put in a room. I'm coming across maybe a bit negative, but if you're just looking for a place to crash and shower then it's likely fine. If you want a place to be able to cook breakfast or get a bit of work done in between your sightseeing or whatnot in Edinburgh: it's not the place for you.
