The flat has an awesome art deco vibe, and is beautifully done. The kitchen was spacious and had everything you might want to use to cook (we hosted a dinner party while there). The location is perfect. The bedroom was quiet, the bed comfortable and upscale. The couch pulls out into a futon which our daughter reports was also comfortable. The bathroom opens off the bedroom and contains a shower only but what a shower--hot, handheld and even includes a shelf to sit on. It is not a "basement" unit, it is ground level. When you look out of the two large windows you appear to be three stories up due to Edinburgh's topography. Veronique was the Goldilocks of hostesses--just right, there when you need her but in no way intrusive. This was our first Airbnb experience and it could not have been better.
