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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

A well located reasonably priced Edinburgh option
The accommodation was really well located, was superbly maintained, very clean, near the supermarket. The kitchen was great to use and it felt homely. It is a well priced option in Edinburgh and worked out perfectly for our tourist related travel by foot.
