My girlfriend and I stayed at this gorgeous property in Edinburgh for 3 nights. Needless to say, it was a wonderful experience from check-in to check-out. Here are a few salient points if you are thinking about staying here in the near future.
1. Michael and Paul have created an affordable, yet luxurious experience with all the qualities one would expect from a 5-star hotel. They have accomplished this without sacrificing the "home away from home" experience. Despite the rigorous COVID-protocols to ensure the safety of their guests, this did not detract from our experience whatsoever.
2. The property is immaculate, which for us, was the most important factor. Moreover, Michael and Paul have incredible taste: from the art on the wall (painted by Michael) to the bathroom’s amenities, it was clear that everything fit cohesively into the avant-garde feel of the property. You can tell that both hosts are extremely detail-oriented and have put a lot of thought and care into curating the perfect experience for their guests.
3. Having injured my back the day before travelling, Paul offered their new complementary state-of-the-art massage device for me to try. This device ended up saving our trip, as I ended up doing 5+ sessions just to gain mobility in my back. This was particularly critical on the day we hiked up Arthur's Seat. This was but one example of how the hosts went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect.
4. Our stay would not have been the same without the hosts themselves. Michael and Paul are affable hosts that genuinely cared for us. One of our favourite memories was starting each day with the outstanding Buddha breakfast served by Michael. If you’re lucky, he may even sing for you.
All in all, a sublime experience. It is unforeseeable that we would even consider staying elsewhere next time we are in Edinburgh. This is how a short-term stay should be like.
