+I had a really wonderful stay, the bed was very comfortable and the room was cleaned daily, Neil was very kind and let me leave my luggage at the guest house after I checked out to pick up later, loved that there was two extra blankets in the cupboard and the view from my room was great, the bus stops are not even 30m from the entrance so getting into the city was a breeze, there is also a really nice store across the road with some lovely food and essentials and it closed at 10pm when I was there, overall a lovely stay

“A comfortable, quiet, and conveniently located stay with easy access to transport and affordable din”
+I really liked the location of the property! There are three bus stops nearby, making it easy to get around. There are also several good, affordable restaurants within walking distance, which made finding meals convenient. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, yet feels safe. The room was just the right size for a solo traveler, and although the bathroom was quite small, it was clean and well-maintained. Overall, a comfortable and convenient place to stay!
−The stairs are quite steep, so carrying luggage up and down can be a bit challenging, especially if you have several bags. However, it’s manageable if you take your time and bring your bags up one at a time.

+Wonderful accommodations! The host was so kind. And it is a little walk to city centre, or a very quick bus ride that stops right in front of the Guest House. It was perfect!

+The owner was really nice and helpful and the connection to the town was quick with the bus 15 min. Helpful with leaving my luggage and carrying it up the small stairs for me.
−My single bedroom was very small so I had to keep my suitcase on the other site of the floor and the bathroom floor, which was clean and the bathroom was very nice. I am allergic to dust and I was taking all medication, but still after more vacuuming I hard problems to breathe. It smelled stuffy and the windows to open was on a main road. Maybe the bedding need to be changed from time to time, not just the sheets and covers. Just a tip. Ok place for a short stay.

“Descanso perfecto”
+Me gustó q estuviera bien conectado con las paradas de bus,aunque creo q en Edimburgo es extraño q no haya 5 paradas de bus en una sola calle. Al dueño solo lo vimos el día q llegamos ,ya posterior no lo ves más. La habitación bastante cómoda,la ubicación más bien alejada del centro y bares alrededor pocos. Por lo general todo estuvo muy bien.
−No me gustó la poca fuerza q tenía la ducha, agua muy caliente sí ,pero poca presión. La llave te abre todas las puertas y deduces q también abriría todas las habitaciones,eso no me gustaba mucho. La ventana no se abría eso tampoco me gusto.

“Je recommande”
+Petite chambre toute mignonne. Propreté ok, bruit correct. Accueil sympathique. Vous êtes à 10 ou 20mn de bus du centre donc c’est un bon compromis. L’Epicerie en face vend tout pour le petit déjeuner et vous avez 2 resto proche (1 indien et 1 burger qui sont bon).
−Que rien de soit prévu pour faciliter le repas à la chambre.

+Lage gemütlich britisch
−letzte Treppe war sehr schmal,so dass es mit dem großen schweren Koffer für mich sehr schwierig war.
