Very homely & charming flat with nice retro decorative touches, beautiful radiators and light switches, fresh flowers in the guest room. If you’re into those details. A bit of a mystery (perhaps every house needs one) to me was the ‘altar’ of cosmetic products in the shared bathroom; could do with a wee cleanup. It didn’t bother me too much but it might you - if you’re a bit of a neat freak.
The area, Leith, is a great base to explore the city from in all directions (walking distance & several bus lines) and has lots of pubs/eateries/coffee bars.
Host Iain is very welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable: he has good suggestions on things to do, both in Edinburgh and other parts of Scotland.
Highly recommended for a short stay!
