Calim gave excellent directions for finding the property. He also sent lots of recommendations for restaurants to try and things to do beforehand.
On arrival in Edinburgh, I went straight to one of his recommendations for lunch, The Rabbit Hole. This turned out to be an excellent choice, the food was delicious. Lovely chic decor and helpful waiting staff.
The appartment is bright and airy, the decor is very elegant. As mentioned in description it is up a couple of flights of stairs. Which I didn't find too difficult. I liked the fact that he had left a variety of styles of umbrellas for use outside the front door of the apartment, as I had forgotten my umbrella in the restaurant, and had to use one of Calim's to go and buy another one.
Once through the welcoming hallway you turn into the kitchen where you are welcomed with note, describing complimentary breakfast of homemade bread, organic eggs, butter, milk etc. There was also a variety of teas from black to herbal.
In addition, he had also left the radio on playing background music a nice touch. I really enjoyed cooking meals in the open plan kitchen.
Calim's place is very central, and one of the sounds I enjoyed listening to were the bagpipes playing. It was a short walk to most of the places I wanted to go to. Mainly Holyrood Palace to see Megan Markle's wedding dress, tiara and veil.
I also took his advice and visited the Farmer's market on Sunday using one of the shopping bags left by Calim.
I love books so it was great being able to peruse some of the many books in Calim's very extensive collection.
The bed was very comfortable. and I slept very well. In the bathroom there is a nice range of organic toiletries for use.
This is a lovely apartment and I hope to stay again when I next visit Edinburgh.
