Our stay at Ryan’s place was okay. The room is what you see in the pictures, small but it has what you need to spend a weekend visiting Edinburgh. The bathroom is divided between the toilet and the shower and it is shared with two other rooms. The overall cleanliness could have been improved, the bathroom had quite a bit of mould and the room floor had some loose hairs. There is no direct contact with the host, the check in is done through a locker system, which worked well for us, and the communication is through a Whats app group chat. The shower gel dispenser was empty throughout or stay, so we asked in the group chat whether this could be refilled but nobody replied to us.
Other than that, the place is located in the west of Edinburgh, and you can walk to Grassmarket (15 mins) or take a bus to Princess St (5 mins).
Overall, the room was the best value we found for this price, considering Edinburgh accommodation prices.
