excellent stay near arthur's seat
beneficial location quick host useful teakettle good beds
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.
