If you're in for an authentic Edinburgh experience of an old quirky architect building a hillside garden with his bare hands and telling you all kinds of stories about the past - you're in luck. The sleeping room was tidy, clean comfy bed, clean shared bathroom, all ok. Also he makes a killer breakfast! :)
Charlie replied quickly to our messages and attended to the mishap of my creditcard bouncing and cancelling the booking - by the way careful with that as Airbnb sends a message that says your second payment will be automatically drawn but it isn't if you have SecurePay or another security lock - so I was on the line with Airbnb and I had to reebook and Charile was cooperative.
The only thing that was a bit surprising was the clutter in the living room and the garden, if you want everything to be spic-and-span and hotel-like, you might not like it here. If you're ok with a "thoroughly lived-in" space and like a good storyteller and a laugh, go for it! Thanks Charlie!
