Weng and Martin responded quickly and with considerable charm and wit to all our requests, even going out of their way to allow us into their home a few hours ahead of schedule as we had a very early flight up from Bristol and were in Edinburgh by 8.30am. On the morning we arrived they sent a text hoping we had had a good flight and reminded us that they were only a phone call or text away should be need anything.
As for the apartment, the pictures don't lie: their basement home is tastefully decorated and feels like a real home. It was immaculately clean and welcoming; the kitchen had every mod con and we wanted to pack up the bathroom and take it home with us. The same goes for the bed! Not sure about the full length wardrobe mirrrors: they just remind us how old we are getting!
Moray Place is a stunning destination in the New Town of Edinburgh and a stone's throw from Stockbridge on one side and the main shopping routes of George Street and Princes Street on the other. Everywhere is walking distance. The area feels upmarket and safe and there are some very good eateries in Stockbridge - a five-minute walk.
Weng and Martin gave us some good advice on eateries and places to visit and were right on the money regarding the Sunday market in Stockbridge... one of the best we have been to.
Would we recommend the apartment? Absolutely, unless you want it at the same time as us on a return trip!
