Initial communication with owner was fine. Room was TINY. Basically walk in and climb into the bed. Parking in the area 30 GBP per night (free on weekends). Breakfast was continental (cereal, fruit, cheese, toast, yogurt, croissants, juice, tea and coffee). Subsequent communication with owner marginal. First night of 3 night stay I asked her to re-list the room for our 3rd night as I wished to leave early but wanted to be sensitive to her bookings. She refused. We ended up leaving a day early and forfeiting the cost of the 3rd night. Our last morning the owner got into a debate with another couple about storing their luggage for 3 hours while they sightseed a bit prior to pickup by a tour company. That should have been a no brainer in the hospitality business. The owner eventually relented and stored the luggage. However, the initial answer should have been "Certainly!", not a long-winded hi-brow attitude from the owner. Finally, a baggie full of GBP coins disappeared from our room. Could not have been more than10 GBP worth of coins but it is the principle, not the monetary value. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend. There are many better options in Edinburgh.
