‪We stayed in Sharan’s place for about six nights, and we loved it! We had our own rooms, a full fridge/freezer to ourselves, a microwave and stove, and many soft towels. Usually I’m only given one towel at an Airbnb, and he gave us more than enough and they were soft to boot! A good hair dryer was provided, that didn’t automatically turn off after a few minutes or take forever to dry my hair. Shampoo and air conditioner were provided as well. There were plenty of places to hang towels, clothes, etc. And we were able to use his washing machine, but did bring our own laundry detergent to do so. ‬
‪The beds were comfortable, and the view from the living/dining area was perfect. Some odd birds were quite noisy in the mornings, but this wouldn’t keep me from staying there again. There were two grocery stores nearby, and the walk into the city center took about 30 minutes — quite hilly, but that’s just Edinburgh. We didn’t really use public transport, so I can’t comment on that. The three flights of stairs were tall flights, and the hallway especially on the lower floors was rather dark, so keep that in mind. ‬
‪WiFi was reliable, and the TV also included BBC Netflix, which we were excited about since it has shows we don’t have in the US. One day the remote wasn’t working, and I messaged Sharan, and he came right over to try out new batteries, which worked. He was very responsive (although I rarely had to message him since everything was great!), and when we arrived, he and his nephew picked us up from a nearby bus stop, and helped us with our luggage, which I never expected. Told us about a traditional Scottish dance event too, which we didn’t know about but ended up going to and enjoying. Thank you, Sharan, for a great stay in Edinburgh! We would definitely stay again. When we got to our next place, we missed yours!‬
