Emma's house in Edinburgh seemed great in pictures but it was even better!!! The house itself is newly renovated keeping in mind the guests needs with super comfortable beds and all new beddings, quilts etc. Large tv with Xbox and Netflix on which our 7yr old daughter was busy watching peppa pig. The kitchen again fully equipped with all latest appliances...and most importantly...new and very clean. The kitchen was stocked with some stuff which came very handy like tea coffee, oil, pasta, some salad dressing oils, cookies, ice etc. The bathroom felt better than our own home, very tastefully made with instant hot water shower and again stocked with great toiletries like coconut shower cream shampoo, 2-3 different creams etc...we didn't have to open our back up stuff at all. It was just like a hotel...with very good quality new towels. Apart from these stuff Emma has really thought of all her guests needs like a file with all instructions on how to use each appliance, she even had a medical box with essentials like band aid, bandage, antiseptic cream...which we did end up using cos of a shaving accident and was so glad to have that medical box...which was not hidden in some corner but placed very conveniently on the kitchen counter. The house was spacious, warm, ground floor with natural light from both sides. The location is excellent...can not be any better...we came by local. Us and got dropped at the royal mile and were 5mins away from the house walking, while going back we were 7-8mins away from the virgin train station on foot. All of the 3 days we didn't ever need to take a cab as we were within the charming old city with great Resturant's, cafes, bars just around the corner & all the tourist spots within 5mins walk, even the tour bus we took started from the royal mile itself which was hardly 5mins walk. Emma was a perfect host, she guided us on how to come from the airport and gave us the confidence that we didn't need to hire a cab and instead just needed to board a local bus(costed us £3.2 for me, wife & daughter), she let us keep our luggage in the apartment while it was being cleaned, and even let us use the bathroom to get fresh. We came back to our better than a hotel room apartment which Emma showed us around and explained everything in detail. She even had a special gift for my daughter and had some artificial jewellery in the room for my wife to borrow and my daughter to play with, she got new floral bed sheets for my daughter to make her feel special in her room, also got her a new towel set with butterfly made on it. She felt like a family member whose apartment u were gonna be living in. I would recommend this place for any one coming to Edinburgh and specially families...there cannot be a better...
