the location proved quite beneficial with a bus stop directly across the road. the host responded quickly and provided helpful information. i liked that a teakettle and a mini fridge were available in the room. the beds felt pretty good to me.
i noticed some slight dustiness in the room probably because of the carpet. a hairdryer was missing but i needed it for my stay.

The location worked out really well for me. i enjoyed the walk to the city centre through holyrood park. It took about 45 minutes (a nice way to start the day!). the beds were comfortable and the shower had adjustable temperature settings. it was a perfect spot to crash after a busy day exploring.
