Brian's place is in a great location (lots of bus links nearby), peaceful area and easy to get into the centre of Edinburgh. It was easy to find, and overall the apartment was fairly clean, though some grubby marks on the kitchen cupboard handles & fridge door. The shower didn't work properly (very weak pressure even on 'high' setting) and the bath plug wasn't fixed well so had to take care with that. There was always hot water though, and plenty of heating which was a huge plus in winter! Overall would stay here again (if the shower is fixed) - it's a lovely, homely place and it suited our needs.
