We had lots of communication prior to our arrival and was greeted by one of our host's staff and given an overview of how the flat works. The flat was centrally located and a reasonable walk to the major sights in town. One positive surprise was that this particular flat has key access to a private garden located just down the block. In a busy city like Edinburgh, the very quite garden was a nice unexpected plus. The only negative surprise was that on Saturday night the restaurants and nightclubs in the area get pretty rowdy and the noise level is high until very late in the night. On all other nights the noise level was reasonably quiet.
