Sonia and Chris’ place is a beautiful spot on a quaint New Town street in Edinburgh. It’s only about ten minutes to the train station and bus stop to the airport and 15 minutes from the Royal Mile making it easy to get to all the main sights of the city.
The apartment is beautifully decorated and clean with an easy check in process. The bedroom is spacious, bathroom is stocked, kitchen has beautiful appliances, and living room equipped with a smart tv and cable. As an added touch Sonia and Chris provide a comprehensive insiders guide to Edinburgh that had amazing recommendations for restaurants and bars in town that was a big help and led us to some great meals and drinks during our stay.
Thistle Street is a very quaint location but is definitely a route home for pub goers making it quite loud late into the night so ear plugs were a necessity. And while Sonia and Chris’ communication leading up to and during the stay was fantastic, we did have an issue where the sofa bed was broken and was not fixed during our stay. I have no doubt they will get it fixed quickly but it did result in pretty uncomfortable sleep for that guest.
Overall, Sonia and Chris are great hosts, the apartment and its location are great, just a bit noisy on a weekend night.
