This was my first experience with Airbnb, so I wasn’t 100% sure what to expect. However, I wanted to get a truly authentic experience in Edinburgh, and I wanted to stay centrally and in a location that had some charm. Caroline’s apartment definitely had that charm! I’d love to know the history of the building. The exposed bricks, the grate in the chimney, and the storage cubby holes gave glimpses into Edinburgh’s past. The place was very central - Edinburgh’s streets link in different directions, and as the days went on I realised just how close we really were. It’s a great location, close to the royal mile, the castle, Greyfriars, etc. The beds were comfy, the house was clean, and it’s only a five minute or so walk to the local shops. There was only one night where there was noise outside from the bins and the local bars, but it was St Paddy’s Day. Other than that, the area is quiet and cosy. I would definitely stay in this location again.
