One hundred percent wow! Excellent listing. Michael, the host is a darling! He was patient and awaited our delayed arrival without a quibble. He was super smiley and friendly when we arrived. Michael showed us around the entire flat and made sure we did not have any unasked questions. He maintained excellent communications during our stay, and made sure we were comfortable and did not feel we had to be rushed out at check out time.
The flat is beautiful. It is fresh and new. The interior is impeccable and highly tasteful. We were super comfortable in this apartment and never wanted to leave. My friend even stated it was the most comfortable bed she had ever slept in. I myself never wanted to get out of the yellow armchair ever! The wifi is super fast and reliable. Before I left, I was able to download a list of programmes and films off BBC iPlayer to watch on my train ride home.
The neighborhood is highly desirable. Lots of great bars and food places are a few hundred feet from the door. The buildings are beautiful to look at. And the neighborhood trendy and peaceful, with a nice little buzz. We enjoyed eating our own food, playing games and drinking in the Boda Bar on the corner. You can walk to the shore in Leith in 20 mins, and 30 mins to Edinburgh town centre in the opposite direction. There are plenty of regular buses into town, only a 15 min ride and a very low fair.
I loved Edinburgh and I loved this apartment. I am already missing both.
