The apartment was absolute perfect for us - we were greatly impressed with its cleanliness and the location was wonderful for exploring. We used the lovely balcony to eat breakfast almost every morning (one rainy day) and so enjoyed the sun and the view of the square.

While Lilian was not physically present to give us access (she arranges with a local woman to meet guests), she is a wonderful communicator by text and email and is responsive to all requests. Our first Air BnB experience in Edinburgh was quite different in that our host lived above the flat we rented, but once we understood the arrangement Lilian has we were just fine.

The bed is very firm and we loved that. The shower has glorious water pressure! And best yet, while the flat is 2 stories above an Irish Pub, you can barely hear street noise once the windows are closed. We used the ceiling fan in the bedroom at night and sleeping was quite comfortable.

There is a Carrefour market close by - be ready to buy staples and perhaps extra supplies if your stay is long (we were there 6 nights). The local Boulangerie is incredible.

If you like having a real living space, fixing your own breakfasts at your leisure (and other meals) and living more like a local, do not hesitate to stay here!
