Among the facilities at this property are luggage storage space and a housekeeping service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can access the guest house via private entrance. Such a wonderful place!! Eric at the reception gave me a warm welcome and showed me around the place and even helped carry my bags up two floors, Lukas and Silvia too were so helpful with anything that I needed and so friendly, The place is spic and span. And you can always go to the kitchen and help yourself to tea, coffee, milk, bread, cornflakes, etc. The bus stop is just outside and the Coop too. Walking distance to landmarks like the Royal Yacht Britannia, Leith waterside, etc. The name befits the place - I truly felt I had visited my friend's house!!

At the guest house, units have a desk, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom, bed linen and towels. The guest house features some units with mountain views, and the units have a kettle. At the guest house, all units are allergy-free. Alia, the host, made everything possible to make my stay as comfortable as possible and was always available and ready to provide anything in addition I needed. I was staying in the single room with external bathroom which was just fine for what was needed. I was staying 11 nights and even for such a long stay the room was comfortable and sufficient. The room had a view on the back garden and it was quiet. The location of the guest house is also convenient, with several bus options to reach city center in 20-30 min. The nearby shopping mall is also very convenient.

Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Sheens House provides accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi. The property has city and quiet street views, and is 1 km from University of Edinburgh. The guest house features family rooms. The host gave fantastic instructions and was very responsive. The space was bright, clean and airy, the beds were really comfortable and offered complimentary cold milk and fizzy water. The kitchenette solutions for the family suite were very clever (ex. a storage container with a dish rack inside, to help you move the dishes safely after you washed them in the bathrooms sink).
