We had serious house envy staying here! Absolutely beautiful and stylish apartment, everything is so carefully chosen and perfect, from a trove of playmobil that kept my kids happy for hours (they didn’t even notice that there was no tv!) to the lovely handmade crockery. It’s comfortable, spacious and the location is great.
Portobello was a perfect choice for a family stay in Edinburgh during the fringe (or anytime). There’s a very frequent bus (and night bus) right outside that gets you to the centre in 20mins. But you can escape to a quieter neighbourhood with independent shops and a beautiful beach. Close by is an excellent craft beer shop, an amazing bookshop, lovely bagel bakery and more. There’s free parking outside on the road (and in car park just behind), and a Lidl 2 mins away.
Service also perfect. We had great info and local tips from Nina in advance, and Jenna who manages the guests locally was brilliant too, super helpful and replied to messages quickly. It was spottlessly clean too.
Definitely hang out drinking coffee and eating croque monsieur at the Skylatk cafe bar also owned by the same people.
Take me back there now!
