Rachel was the perfect host with impeccable directions and communication, and even did extra to ensure we were OK with unscented bed linens and a gluten free cake for my sister's birthday. The flat itself is well-equipped, very clean and in a great location with loads of buses to old town and steps from Haymarket station and lots of restaurants and pubs. Only two cautions for consideration - if you are there in warm weather and need to open windows it does face a very busy road with a lot of traffic and it is on the 2nd floor with no lift so you have to carry bags up and down stairs. But it was the perfect location for us attending Fringe and exploring Edinburgh. You can get day passes for the bus and see everything and more but not be in the congested part of the city.
