I booked this lovely apartment for a weekend so that my husband and I could come to Edinburgh and take part in the Edinburgh University Orienteering Clubs 'Big Weekend'. This was my first experience of using Airbnb and has been positive from start to finish.

Communication with Katie was easy, she replied promptly to a couple of enquiries.

I must have been a bit of a pain as I changed our arrival time a couple of times but Katie was able to fit in with my changes of plan. She met us at the apartment, showed me round and showed how everything worked.

It was a lovely apartment, exactly as it looked in the pictures, clean, bright, well equipped, lovely comfy bed, nice sheets, good towels, lots of hot water, lovely and warm. The fact that there was a bottle of prosecco, bread, milk, oil, spices, dishwasher tablets and washing powder really made it a home from home.

Although we only stayed for the weekend this apartment would be great for a week or a fortnights stay.

I had been concerned about the parking but Katie suggested where we could park just around the corner that was pay and display. It is worth looking at the Edinburgh parking zones map prior to arrival. We had no problems at all parking the car and didn't use it as the apartment is within easy walking distance of everything in Edinburgh.

If we plan to come back to Edinburgh again in the future I would not hesitate to stay in this lovely flat.
