Sonia and Chris’ place was awesome. Very stylish and well thought out. My wife and I stayed three nights and loved the experience. Some specifics:
Location: VERY nice neighborhood. It felt safe and we had no issues with noise. It’s about a 20-minute walk from the castle, 15 from the Royal Mile, and 10 from lots of retail and restaurants. It’s on the “basement” level of an incredible block of Georgian flats. It stayed cool and we loved the privacy.
Sonia and Chris were very responsive and they included the most comprehensive “insiders guide” I have ever seen in an AirBnb. We used it for several eating suggestions and loved the results.
Great beds, soft pillows for days, and comfy furniture. The bathroom felt recently remodeled and was very nice.
Really, our one complaint was more self-inflicted. We had a car. Even though they said parking could be a problem, we tried it our luck anyway. Turns out, it’s a real problem. Their street parking is mostly permit only and the paid spots are 4-hour max Monday-Friday and not cheap. There are two long term garages, but they are a 20-minute walk away and about £20/day. Anyway, keep that in mind when booking.
We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone, as long as they didn’t have a car.
