My wife and I had a really wonderful stay at Mike's place. To start with we were looking for a month's accommodation and the room which we initially planned for got booked. Mike suggested the larger room which perfectly fit our requirements - ensuite bath with a provision to cook our own meals. Commuting to and from the place was no trouble, as there's a Lothian bus-stop right at the doorstep.It's only a 15 min bus ride to the city center.Communication with Mike was spot on and he responds generally within an hour. The room comes with all required amenities - a large bed, sofa, breakfast table for 2,cupboards, a chest of drawers, a TV, hoovers and cloth stands. Linens and mats were replaced weekly. The common kitchen was spacious, well equipped and had ample storage spaces along with 2 large fridges.Very few folks used the kitchen so we did not have any trouble cooking our meals. All common spaces were regularly cleaned and well maintained.
The only area we felt needed improvement was the internet connection which at times was slow owing to the router being placed outside the room.
Overall we would recommend Mike's for both short and long stays in Edinburgh.
Mike himself was extremely pleasant to talk to and flexible to accommodate our requests.
