Pleasant
Very warm reception, introducing and explaining in detail.
The bathroom is across the hall making it inconvenient to use the washroom at night.

The property is spacious, nicely located and kept very clean. The owner is very nice, talkative and helpful.
While functional and clean, the room and bathroom are quite dated and could use a refresh.

The room was comfortable but a little small. Separate private bathroom but it was only across the landing so not a problem. Edinburgh Centre was a healthy 20 -25 minutes walk away so no need to take the bus.
The bed was too soft and as my partner has a bad back it wasn't comfortable for her.

Wonderful
The property was overall clean, beds were comfortable and the provision of tea, coffee and milk with biscuits was a nice touch. It was quiet, good location to all local transport, shops and a short journey either walking or by public transport to city centre and Portobello beach. Owner was helpful, very friendly and welcoming.
tv kept glitching and external private bathroom the door kept sticking difficult to open quite temperamental.

An older building but clean and comfortable. Room attended to daily for fresh towels etc. Very welcoming on arrival.
A little far from the city without a car for a 71yr old. Bus stop outside but I didn't ever see a bus or anyone waiting. However plenty of buses from the next main street over, just a few minutes walk.

Hosts were wonderful! Beds were comfortable. Location was perfect for our needs (able to walk to city) and away from crowds and city noise. Numerous wonderful eateries (coffee shops, Pub, Indian food) nearby.
Needs a little TLC, room was warm, and ours had a separate bathroom with creaky steps and door (bothered other guests?).

The host could not have been more accommodating. Directions to hotel were a bit confusing, but wasnt set up w gps yet. Lengthy ride from airport on buses, but cheap. Suggest taxi; more expensive but reasonable. Very clean and quiet, great coffee service in room. Bathroom was fine but toilet handle stopped working. Easy access to buses.Nice pubs and cafes in area; grocery close by.
What was expected.
