I’m not usually a person who leaves reviews for things, anything ranging from dining to now Airbnb, but I have to let everybody know how wonderful and amazing an Airbnb this flat is in the city of Edinburgh.
Firstly, the communication of Ros and Patsy are second to none. I haven’t experienced an Airbnb yet where the hosts have been so quick to get in touch with me and help me with anything I want to know and anything important to know.
Next, the highlight of this flat is its location. The city of Edinburgh is an old city, it’s a historical city, and if you want to stay somewhere in the old town that is no more than 5 minutes walking distance from Edinburgh Castle, The Royal Mile, Mercat Cross, etc... I STRONGLY SUGGEST this flat. The location for my weekend was simply put, unreal. It was so nice only having to use public transportation to get from the airport and back on two separate days of my trip. Ros and Patsy helped with the understanding of those details as well, but this unit’s location is so great, you will never have to use public transportation while in Edinburgh given you’re in average shape.
As far as the ability of feeling welcomed, there was a green folder on the center table waiting for me upon arrival. It had helpful information, good places to eat at, how and where to use and find specific appliances in the flat, and most importantly, it was an excellent introduction to the city of Edinburgh.
I think the coolest feature of this flat is the greyfriar’s Kirkyard in the backyard. I’m not kidding you, it’s literally in the backyard. Having a cemetery with tombstones 300+ years old sitting as the backdrop outside your window was the perfect culture shock in feeling as if you’ve stepped back in time, something you should expect and be ready for when traveling to Edinburgh and it’s old town.
Price wise, worth every single penny and Ros charges a very fair rate, I have zero complaints.
In all, this was the best Airbnb experience I’ve had to date and if I ever make it back to Edinburgh in the near future, this will be the first place I attempt to stay in when looking for accommodations.
