I read a comment on this page prior to booking which said "If its available DON'T HESITATE". Couldn't agree more!
Jonny & Elspeth apartment is absolutely stunning. Warm, inviting and homely they both have impeccable taste and I couldn't find anything that was out of place or missing for our stay. We were welcomed with lovely thoughtful gifts and a beautiful real Christmas tree which made our visit special from day 1. This was my partners first Airbnb experience and I think he is hooked!. So close to the centre and homely was the apartment that it was so easy to pop back away from the bustle, to rest our feet, have a bite, relax and plan our next move, I just wish we could have stayed longer! I really won't hesitate to stay again. Comfy bed (and big) perfect for my 6ft5 companion, lovely kitchen and bathroom and an incredibly lounge!. The kitchen is brilliantly equipt, we cooked a few meals it was so easy! and we loved the honesty box in the cupboard that contained a selection of Whiskey and spirits. We are wine lovers so sadly didn't get to sample any but it was another lovely example of the extra touches that made this such a relaxing and comfortable stay.
The apartment is located at the top of Princes street tucked away in a quiet part of the city. Short walk from everywhere and being on the ground floor no stairs to climb. There are some lovely bars and restaurants tucked up the streets in and around Shadwick Place and Queensferry and I do recommend Vesta Bar/Restaurant on Queensferry Road. This was a stunning little gem and in collaboration with @social_bite this gorgeous restaurant closes its doors to the public every Monday opening its doors to those experiencing homelessness so they can dine out and have delicious food in a relaxed and welcoming spot. Such a lovely idea! The apartment is also 5-6 min walk from the West End, 6-7 min walk from Rose street and about 15 minutes to the Royal Mile which feels like a hop skip and a jump when your journey takes you past some lovely sites in the city. My partner and I did have a couple of late nights and we felt absolutely safe and relaxed walking in this part of the city.
The apartment is a short walk from the trams, buses main shops in New Town and a short walk along Princes Street and up the Mound to The Old Town. If you have time i would also head behind the apartment to Deans Village and Gallery. Its a lovely spot and easy to miss.
There is a local grocery store a short walk away and I can absolutely recommend the take out opposite the apartment if you head home late and fancy a bite.
Guys thank you so much for a wonderful stay and I cannot wait to head back in 2020!. MERRY CHRISTMAS
