This has been the first time we booked a room through Airbnb. The limited availability of affordable hotel rooms during the Edinburgh Fringe forced us to go this way. We didn't know what to expect, and we had mixed feelings when we did the booking: at the end you are still sleeping in the house of a complete stranger. All our concerns were completely washed away when Chas opened the door of his lovely house: Chas and Gilian are very warm and welcoming people. They went far beyond what is normally expected from a B&B. They drove us to town, shared their knowledge and experience about Edinburgh and Scotland and even allowed us to taste some of their fine whiskys.
The room itself is very clean and comfortable, the private bathroom spacious and luxurious and the breakfast large, filling, and tasty. We would even have access to the garden and a private lounge (which we didn't use though). The dogs are very well behaved and not a nuisance at all.
All in all it was a great experience and should we come back to Edinburgh again we will definitely stay at this wonderful place again.
