Max, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice and tidy living space and kitchen with everything you need. The garden was very peaceful. The host responded quickly to our messages which was appreciated. The room was mostly clean apart from surfaces in the bedroom being quite dusty. Small changes could be made to make the room more convenient e.g a storage unit in the bathroom to place our things or hooks on the back of doors to hang jackets. Mostly quiet except for other guests being loud during early hours of the morning. Overall, would recommend especially for those looking to stay in a quieter part of the city but still at a walkable distance from the city centre.
Sana, 2-night trip

Maria, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

This stay was fine, in terms of location it was nice and quiet and a lovely walk into town. Cleanliness left some to be desired but it was mostly fine and we enjoyed our stay.

10/10 Excellent

Great location and very nice, friendly, flexible host. Hot water and great pressure in the showers, heating worked great. Very cute rooms. Highly recommend! Quick 3 block walk from the center of Edinburhg.

10/10 Excellent

Really nice sized room, nice bathroom and comfy beds. Our host was lovely and really helpful. Very close to centre and good bars and restaurants. Only downside is ceiling is quite thin and we had some very noisy neighbours upstairs! Overall a lovely stay and would definitely stay again.

8/10 Good

Nice location

This is part of a converted flat in the basement of a townhouse. There are three room available with a communal kitchen and lounge area. It is a 10 min walk to the tram and a 25 min walk to the castle
Adrian, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Great location, very convenient, but feeling a bit tired. Mattress sunken, mould in bathroom, things hanging off wall. Just needs a little spruce up and renewals.
Martin, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

One of the best places I have stayed and it is close to the town centre as well within walkable distance with easy accessibility to all shops and restaurants. The room particularly was clean and warm with all amenities needed to cook. There was Alps a pound which was even comfortable to dine and watch television. Overall I am very much happy with the room and place. I would highly recommend this.Thank you very much.
Monisha, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Close but in need of some maintenance and cleaning

Great location and nice to have kitchen and washing machine and lounge but needs maintenance eg door handle not securly fixed and lock box comes off wall. Noise comes through walls and bathrooms are not ensuite. Trade off with condition and privacy for kitchen and washing machine. Close to hire car. Walk to sites or transport.

6/10 Okay

The room is big but the shower is dirty and the towels are horrendous, really old grey ans smelly. People walking in the room above are really loud.
Andrew, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

No Heat

The room was nice and clean but there was no heat apart from a small space heater that barely made a difference. The key box was a little problematic. The numbers were hard to see.
