Lauren and Jake were excellent hosts who from the start were brilliant in communication. Their place is clean, stylish and incredibly welcoming. The bedroom itself whilst not overly large, is warm with a comfortable bed and a brilliant view of New Town and Edinburgh Castle. Their lounge area which I didn't use as much as expected (Edinburgh was showing off weather wise) is spacious and inviting. It would be an excellent room to curl up in with a book on cooler/wetter days. You do need to go up a few flights of stairs to get to their flat, so those with terribly bad knees and heavy suitcases, be aware. But their top floor location does ensures its brilliant view. I would stay here again without a single hesitation.
The location of their flat is within walking distance of most things in the city centre. The walk is uphill towards both George Street/Princes Street (6-10mins) and The Castle (20-25mins). The walk doesn't feel all that long. Public transportation is close, however I felt more than comfortable to walk myself around both day and night.

Thanks guys for a brilliant stay.
