I had a wonderful experience with my host Mhairi from the moment I emailed her my first question. Mhairi was helpful with answering all of my questions about booking her room, as well as getting around Edinburgh. She was knowledgeable and helpful with traveling around the city (buses, etc) and offered me maps and excellent sightseeing tips. She made me feel welcome and comfortable in her home, and was generous with her kitchen! The room and it's private bath were clean and modern. Since I'm a neat and clean person, this made me very comfortable. Her flat is located right along 3 convenient bus lines but also within walking distance of the center of Edinburgh, an easy comfortable walk. Mhairi is very friendly and welcoming, and made me feel like a friend instead of just a tenant. I recommend her highly!
