Our host Michael was very easy to communicate with, our questions were answered promptly, aside from providing accurate directions on finding his house, all the details you need including how to get hot water in the shower were listed down. He was waiting by the door to the flat at the time we agreed and allowed us to leave our bags even though it was still a few hours before checkin time.
The flat itself was as advertised, the bedrooms and the bathroom were clean and towels were provided, there was also a hair dryer which we very much appreciated. Due to the size of the flat, it takes a bit of time to get warm, and the first bedroom can get a bit chilly. It was also nice that there were some short bread and coffee in the pantry that we could avail of.
The place is around 15 to 20 minutes walk to the central area (princes street), but there were a lot of nice (Indian) restaurants around this area. Also, it's fairly close to Calton Hill where you can have a good view of Edinburgh. For the price we paid, it was very much worth it.
