We loved being in the Stockbridge area of Edinburgh; the cafes, bars and farmers' market gave it a charm of its own, very much a village in its own right within easy walking distance of the more touristy spots of the city.
Stephen's flat is on a gorgeous Georgian circle. The high ceilings and views across the communal garden made you feel like you were in a regency novel.
The flat is charmingly furnished, and has all that a couple or solo traveller could wish for, with a five array of teas and milk/cereal provided by its easygoing host.
The vinyl collection makes you feel like a bohemian student rifling through a friend's records, very much adding to the Airbnb sharing experience!
The bed is comfy and cosy. The bathroom is basic, but hot water is in good supply.
Stephen was very accommodating with check in and leaving arrangements, even being kind enough to meet a friend of ours when I'd left something behind, so it could get sent on to us quickly!
Don't expect glossy, sterile hotel type accommodation, this is different, and much more relaxing.
