I spent 2 days at Simone's place during my 10-day trip in the UK and his place was by far my favorite place! It's literally right next door to the Royal Mile and a quick 15 minute walk to the castle. Simone offered tips on dinner, bars, live music and lots of other things. He was so, so kind and a very thoughtful host. The accommodations themselves felt identical to what I'd experience in a hotel. The room was sparkling clean and spacious. The en suite restroom was also super clean and well-maintained. The bed was really comfortable. All in all, I loved my stay at Simone's place and would recommend it without any hesitation at all. Amazing value!
