This place is an absolute GEM in a perfect location. My husband and I needed to stay in Edinburgh a few more days than we had planned, and it was August during the height of the festival rush. We booked only a couple of days ahead, so pickings were quite slim, but we were happy to find Liam’s place which was not far from the rental where we were currently situated. We later found out this was the first time Liam had rented out his apartment, which explains why we couldn’t see prior reviews. Wow, did we luck out! The apartment was spotless and well-equipped with a washer and dishwasher. It was bright and cheery with lots of sunlight, comfortable beds and furniture, and a sense that it was entirely our own. You cannot beat the Abbeyhill location right off a wonderful intersection with a fantastic Greek pastry shop, a charming pub, and delicious wood fired pizza right at your doorstep. Lots of grocery options nearby as well. Quick access to Arthur’s Seat and Hollyrood Palace. If you are looking for easy access to festival venues and sightseeing but want to feel tucked away from the throbbing tourist masses to get a more local feel, I really don’t think you will find anything better than this (we liked it better than the other place we had booked months in advance!).
