My partner and I stayed here for a week recently and to say we were happy with our stay is an understatement. The pictures do not do this cosy stay justice, and the amount of thought and care Anke has put in to ensure her guests feel welcome and taken care of is amazing. From little helpful notes around the house, a beautifully put together little help guide for your stay in Edinburgh, and even down to arriving to a bottle of wine on the table on our first day. Anke was so easy to get hold of, and so lovely in her approach, I really cannot recommend staying here enough! It's a perfect getaway if you don't want to be stuck in the hustle of city centre, but is well connected by public transport, and the walk into city is super easy down the beautiful canal. The cafe around the corner is lovely, I had the best bit of carrot cake I'd ever had there, and there's a convenience store across the road that is very well stocked with essentials (e.g. a run to grab an extra bottle of wine in the evening!). We used the kitchen several times for breakfast and dinner, and found we had everything we needed to do basic cooking, and anything on top of that was available across the road at the little shop... although there are a whole host of larger supermarkets surrounding the area (within a 15 min walk) if you wanted to get a few more supplies. We were very lucky with the weather, and therefore got to take advantage of the lovely outdoor space. It's worth noting all the neighbours have children and the garden space although private, does connect to the neighbours garden, so expect to see and hear the little ones outside playing on a nice day. This didn't bother us one bit, and the neighbours we came in contact with were all super lovely and cheerful, and it's a very respectful neighbourhood...everyone seems aware of the noise they make and everything gets super peaceful and quiet once 7:30/8pm comes around. We had absolutely zero issues with noise within the house either, we couldn't hear anything through the walls and it was such a peaceful little getaway. Honestly, I cannot praise this place enough and I wish we could have stayed here longer! Thank you Anke for having us ☺️
