My partner an I stayed here for a week (End of November-Start of December). I travel to Scotland at least once a year to see family and friends and end up staying in different places every time. Instantly attracted by the possibility of parking and being so close to both Holyrood Park and within a 20-30min walk of the Royal Mile we booked this flat. Expecting just what we saw on the photos we arrived and were blown away with the amenities. Having just driven for 6 hours, there was milk, coffee, tea, sugar, sauces, a variety of spices... this list could be endless. There was everything you could possibly need after a long drive just to relax and settle in.
There is no allocated parking and we did worry that we would end up parking in someone’s ‘regular spot’, however we had no problems. Everyone was friendly and for those much needed quiet nights you wont be disturbed by any residents, the flat is also neatly tucked away from the busy roads.
Walking to the City centre is easy, taxis arrive within minutes and rarely take longer than 10 minutes to arrive in the centre from the flat.
Our hosts also left a wide variety of leaflets in the flat of local events/venues. We were never stuck for anything to do.
The door to the block of flats is just on the corner of the path that leads directly to Holyrood Park, meaning our walk up Arthur’s Seat was essentially on our door step (1-2min walk round the corner).
With a handy guest book (includes instructions for all appliances), quick responding hosts and easily controlled heating (that is always at a regular temp) to keep us warm in these colder months... we couldn’t have asked for better accommodation.
Having stayed in other Airbnb’s I cannot recommend this flat more. Great value for money, you’d be mad not to stay. We will definitely stay again. Our video chat tour to family members has made them so jealous they are looking to book for their future travels.
