James's apartment is perfect. It is such a great space and everything was set-up to make it easy and comfortable. James's communication was timely, specific and detailed. The key collection was smooth and stress free. The flat was spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable and James had left everything we needed, from juice and butter in the fridge to fresh bread and marmalade. The sheets and towels were especially good and the wifi connection was excellent throughout the flat. His fab map with details about how things work in the flat, recommendations for where to visit and contact details is really helpful. It is clear that James has spent time and effort getting his apartment and his Airbnb service to an extremely high standard. James was able to accommodate my need for a travel cot, which fitted easily into the large double bedroom.
The reason for my visit was that I own a flat nearby that needs repair work, so I couldn't stay in my own place. I know the area well because I used to live here until 2002. I have a busy family life and had to bring my 7-month old baby with me to arrange my flat repairs, so James's flat was a great place for me to relax & let the baby play in comfort, in between meetings with decorators, carpet fitters etc at my own place. The flat is really well placed for exploring Edinburgh. The bus routes make travel to anywhere in the city easy, but so many places are also walkable from the flat. Locally, there is a Scotmid (mini supermarket) for everything you could need and plenty of delis, take-aways, bakeries etc so it is easy to eat out or take food back to the flat.
The flat is on the top floor of a traditional tenement building, so there are a lot of stairs, which anyone planning to visit would need to bear in mind.
