I've been living with Karen for one semester during my studies at the University of Edinburgh. As my lectures were at King's Buildings, it only took my 20 min to get to university by bus. The area around the house is quiet and I even could see Arthur's when looking out of the window. Karen is a really nice host who helps whenever she can. In the first days she showed me the neighboorhood by car, which was great the get acquainted with the local circumstances. Every Sunday she even cooked a full scottish breakfast which has always been delicious. I really enjoyed my time at Karen's and I can only recommend her.
