The flat is in a good location in Canonmills- about a 30 min walk to the old town, and quite close to two other neighborhoods with good cafés, restaurants, etc. It’s a 3-min walk to join the Water of Leith path, which is beautiful and well worth it. It’s a 5-min walk to a great bagel place.
The flat is simple, but has all you need for a weekend/short stay in Edinburgh. If you’re planning a longer stay, then be aware that there’s limited storage and no tv.
In terms of issues flagged by previous guests: Natalia and James are very responsive and accommodating. They changed the mattress during my parents’ stay, so future guests need not worry about that issue anymore. They are also looking into fixing smells in the kitchen.
