If you are looking for perfection when visiting Edinburgh, then you have found it in Stuart's stunning space. First, let me say that I have used Airbnb a great deal lately and Stuart is by far the best host I have ever worked with on this site (and I've communicated with MANY wonderful people). He is a great communicator, friendly, helpful, patient, informative and very welcoming. He worked with me not only on making our stay great, but by also making suggestions about our trip to London (providing me with links for airlines that proved to be exactly what I needed!), local restaurants for taking friends to a special dinner (there is a wonderful welcome packet, but he also provided me with other ideas!) and for planning our late arrival to his spot (convenient lock box for keys). He is a gem and clearly a kind and decent person.
Now, his place...pictures do not do it justice. It is a clean and funky spot directly in the heart of old town. It's a 5 minute walk from the train station and the views from the rooms are wonderful. We were a family of four and we slept comfortably and felt we had plenty of room. We didn't use the wonderful kitchen, but next time I am sure to cook in that spacious spot. It's bright and cheery with lovely appliances. Artwork is fun, beds were comfortable, plenty of towels and bedding.
The first part of our visit we stayed in New Town and I wish I had stayed at Stuart's home both visits. It was our favorite spot EVER. We will absolutely visit again and I encourage anyone to snag this place while visiting Edinburgh. It will not disappoint!
