Alex has the hosting game down flat! My wife couldn't help but marvel that not only did the host leave us wine and shortbread, but also a small fresh milk for tea in the fridge. Communication was spot on, and the cleaning was thorough. Size was ideal for our small family looking to spend a few days exploring Edinburgh, and it really was cool seeing the castle each day leaving the apartment. Highly recommended, and close to not only the center of town but also nightlife and the train station.
