The flat was exactly as pictured! So clean, yet homely. Very friendly host who showed us round her flat enthusiastically, letting us know where the wifi was and how to use her speakers etc. The flat is near a Lidl, Tesco and R recommended a nice butcher. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans but there are lots of nice restaurants in the area. It is very close to town: a 20minute walk or about 5 different buses from right outside to the very centre of Edinburgh for colder/lazier times. We felt lovely and comfortable in R's flat and if we ever need to stay somewhere in Edinburgh again we would happily return here.
