We stayed there for three days and it was great.
We were 5 people; they have three bedrooms with two double beds and one single bed (and also a sofa in the living room). A no-thrill place but has everything you need, kitchen, living room, etc.
The place is about 35-minute walk from the old town, or about 25 minutes by bus, there are a few little delis and one supermarket within a 5-minute walk, as well as the fountain park shopping centre.
Host was very communicative, allowed us to check-in a little early and check-out a little later, which helped a lot. Also kept checking with us that we have whatever we need.
We stayed for 3 nights in July. This home was close to a bus station (a must for me) and was spacious. Two heads up for future travelers: the washing machine/dryer all-in-one was a challenge so instructions would be helpful. Sometimes the wash cycle went directly to the dry cycle and sometimes not. Allow a lot of extra time to do a load of laundry.
The 3rd bedroom is a closet, I think. It was fine for us but may not be for someone else.
Other that these two issues, all was great and I would recommend the Rainforest to fellow travelers to Edinburgh. Thank you!
