Michael was a great host for our Edinburgh stay with a great location and apartment for our needs. Even though the rental did not come with parking, he recommended free overnight parking nearby that we were able to use 1 of 2 nights. This flat is right in the middle of everything, within walking distance of theater, shopping, etc. but with that comes some noise of people, trucks, dogs, and so on, normal sounds of urban living. We really enjoyed the pub right downstairs from the entrance! The building itself is quite old with signs of wear, the two dark flights of stairs to the entrance are definitely not scenic. But once in the flat, you have a tastefully renovated and light-filled living space that is clean and welcoming. The bathroom and kitchen are fully redone and functional and the two bedrooms include comfortable beds with newer furniture. Much of the house remains true to the original, so the wood floors have a few holes and places to catch your sock on and a few doors that don't close fully, but it's the oldness that's so incredibly charming. Thank you for a great stay!
