A perfect flat to enjoy the vibe of Edinburgh. :) Located in the heart of Old Town with the castle, pubs, restaurants and quaint little shops a stone's throw away, we had everything we needed for our 3 day getaway within minutes of the flat. The flat is as lovely and clean as it looks and exactly as described, although it can get a little cold in the winter.

Maggie is a brilliant host and was in touch with us prior to and throughout the weekend to ensure our stay was comfortable. It got quite cold on the first night, but after a few text exchanges, Maggie came over to drop us an additional heater the following day which did wonders! :) She showed us around and told us everything we needed to know upon arrival and we quickly made ourselves comfortable. The flat has all the amenities you need with a decent internet connection. I liked the fact that the living/bedroom area had a lot of plug sockets as well so you never had to check what you're unplugging to charge your phone or camera!

The neighbourhood is vibrant and has excellent access to all the touristic spots of Edinburgh. With pubs and restaurants just around the corner and the castle less than a 5 minute walk, the location was perfect for us to discover the city quickly. The flat itself is tucked away behind the buildings facing the street so is surprisingly quiet, in case you want a good night's sleep instead of a night out. (Although on a Friday or Saturday night, you can hear some jolly drunk Scottish folk singing - shouting? - loudly, which is never a bad thing! ;) ) The shops on the street were perfect for unique gifts - a timely bonus for us preparing for the festive season.

Definitely a great flat with a great host, in the perfect location. Would recommend!
