Wow. Just wow. Alan's place is exquisite and we were expecting lovely things from the listing but were blown away by the flat in person. It is absolutely gorgeous and the location is perfect if you want to be centrally located in the city as we did for our trip to the Fringe. Somehow, while walking distance from so much activity, it still managed to be a quiet oasis in the midst of it all. Oh, and as a bonus you can see the tattoo fireworks from the living room!
The flat was set up with all of our basic needs and then some. Touches such as maps, Fringe booklets, and some basic food items such as tea and oil and vinegar all made it that much more homey. I think what we loved most were the high ceilings and enormous windows that let in so much light. There is even a huge TV screen in the living room and though my hubby and I didn't take advantage of it, I can imagine it's a dream for TV lovers.
On top of all of that, Alan is the perfect host - we felt very taken care of, our questions were always answered in a timely fashion, and he truly cared about our experience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a top-notch stay in Edinburgh. My only reservation in doing so is that I want it to be available next time I'm in Scotland!
