Our stay was absolutely stellar. The flat is exactly as pictured, and the location couldn't be better; we were so pleased at how close we were to all amenities and the city center, but also how quiet and residential Stockbridge felt. The flat itself is stylish and felt very luxe, and the personal touches really made the difference - in particular, the locals guide to the city helped us zero in on places we wanted to visit and explore. As we walked around Edinburgh, we kept saying, "oh, that was in the guide!" Our favorites were the local butcher and cheese shop. As we're traveling during the pandemic, our focus was more on shopping for supplies and cooking at home, rather than dining out, so having high-quality shops nearby made this part of the holiday - which could have been a downside, as we missed out on excellent bars & restaurants - an upside instead. We also had a few minor questions and Sonia & Chris responded very quickly, always with pleasant exchanges. We felt very well taken care of.
I've been to Edinburgh several times previously, but have never enjoyed it as much as on this trip, as I felt like a local, not a tourist. I've been traveling with AirBNB for a decade, and this has been by far my best experience.
We very much hope to come back soon!
