This was our first Airbnb stay so we were excited and at the same time a little sceptical about the whole arrangement. We had a good feel before even staying at this place because we were regularly in touch with Deborah and she answered all our queries. Thanks to her clear instructions and good transport connections, getting to her house was easy. We were welcomed by her youngest son who was very gracious and showed us to our room and also gave a mini tour of the house. We met Deborah a little later that day (although she was available over phone through out to help us with any queries) and she was very welcoming, made us feel at home. The room was quite big for the two of us, bright, neat and tidy with a bed which was very comfortable. They had put in some really nice touches to make us feel at home - guest bathroom slippers, a kettle and supplies in our room for instance. Additionally she gave us free reign in her kitchen, so we helped ourselves with some toast/cereal in the morning with a coffee, and she genuinely insisted we treat their home as ours for the duration of our stay. We used her microwave as well as the oven (she helped us cook our pizza in fact!) The house itself is extremely beautiful with an excellent decor to it - we loved it. Deborah also gave us tips on how to make the best use of our short stay in Edinburgh and it was very useful. What we liked the most about our stay in her house was that she was extremely relaxed and easy to talk to, and didn't make us feel watched or assessed while in her house, and for first time Airbnb users I think that's usually a big concern. All in all a great experience, definitely recommend.
