Seth was a great host, he was flexible when we were delayed by a late train, and we met at the flat to go over the housekeeping details which were quite straightforward. We had a couple of questions during our stay, and Seth responded quickly to those via texts.
Seth’s flat is the ground floor of a traditional tenement in a lovely part of Edinburgh, close to Dean Village (actually above it), Stockbridge and Comely Bank. As such, it is ideally placed for walking across Dean Bridge to Princes Street, and the aforementioned areas within 10-15 minutes. The bus stops are also very close to take you to Princes Street, Leith and elsewhere.
Apart from that, it is a few minutes' walk to Dean Village and the Water of Leith Walkway - a scenic and restful way to walk UNDER Dean Bridge to Stockbridge and all the way to Leith. Stockbridge and Comely Bank are but minutes' walk away. We strongly recommend The Pastry Section in Stockbridge for coffee / cakes, The Street Box for authentic Thai carryout, The Kilted Kitchen for dinner, and The Raeburn for early evening cocktails. All reached within ten minutes on foot from the flat. Supermarkets close by include Waitrose (great selection of easy dinner items), Scotmid (Coop) and Sainsbury Local.
The flat itself was extremely comfortable. The lounge / living / dining room is well appointed, large, and just easy to relax in with two sofas and plenty of space. Similarly the large ensuite bedroom. Both bedrooms had comfortable beds, but beware the second bedroom is quite a bit smaller than the first - so be aware when booking for two couples for example.
Kitchen and bathrooms extremely clean, well appointed, wonderful showers and a full bath in the main bathroom. The kitchen is well stocked with all the basics (and more) for home meal preparation, and Seth left plenty of items for breakfast etc. during the stay.
Overall, it was very easy to make yourself at home, enjoy the space and everything that Edinburgh itself offers.
