  See above. What more can I say

  Liked: Excellent facilities in a very handy area with free road parking just round the corner. Convenience store opposite several fast food outlets in the area. Range of buses if required. Large shopping centre in walking distance.

  Liked: The location was prefect for exploring Edinburgh particularly as the bus stops into the city centre are right near the accommodation. The spare rooms do share a bathroom with the host, as noted by the description, but we were also able to use the kitchen which was much appreciated. The key pickup process was very easy.

  Clean and centrally located flat, but be aware that host is sharing flat and bathroom with you

  Liked: The flat is located pretty close to the center with a bus stop right in front of the flat taking you directly to the old an new town. We didn't use the kitchen but it looked well equipped and large, plus there was a great Thai place across the street for an easy dinner. The rooms were small but clean and Finlay was a friendly host. The room in the back is quiet and leads directly to their backyard.

  Disliked: It wasn't super clear when booking that the host would be staying in the flat in a third room and also that you're sharing a bathroom with him. Furthermore, the communication over booking.com messages prior to arriving regarding key collection and follow-up questions was a little confusing.
