Truly excellent location within walking distance of the Royal Mile and all that's worth seeing in Edinburgh. Trystan was quick to approve our last minute stay but a bit slow to respond when we were actually here if we needed something. Trystan's friend who greeted us was warm and friendly. While marketed as an apartment, the only communal areas are the bathroom and kitchen, with no living room, and all the bedrooms are individually locked with the doors always closed. While the security was appreciated, this setup felt a little impersonal and made it feel like we were renting a room in a boarding house or youth hostel, and so a little distinct from the usual AirBNB experience. The room itself was large and cleverly set up with space for a desk, dressing table, bookshelf, lounge and coffee table in addition to the bed. The bed sagged a little but didn't stop us from getting a good night's sleep. Unfortunately while we were staying the washing machine was broken - meaning for us an extra visit to the laundromat - although Trystan says it's now been fixed. Also the entrance to the apartment block is rather squalid, with graffiti on the walls and rubbish in the hallway, and it's a hard first impression to shake, even though the bedroom itself was light, clean, eclectically decorated and well maintained. The local area is lively with a fun bar downstairs frequented by students, arty types and the young at heart. We didn't have any issues with noise (we didn't stay for the weekend though). Overall Trystan's place was a convenient base to explore Edinburgh.
