The apartment was really lovely and located in a very nice neighborhood! Although we didn't get the chance to meet Anke personally, she provided us with many useful tips through email and the guides she had in the home which we appreciated a lot.

The apartment was wonderfully decorated, and we were pleasantly surprised to see that it was even more beautiful than in the photos! Our stay was practically hassle free thanks to the clear instructions provided by Anke regarding the use of the heater, washing machine and other appliances. The apartment is also very spacious, and was very comfortable for the 4 of us.

Although the apartment is located a little far out (around 30 minutes from town), it was nice returning to such a beautiful home after a long day of traveling! We would recommend getting a bus day pass (£3.50) as it would be quite necessary to take a bus to and fro from the apartment. Would also be good to check the bus schedule in advance to aid in planning as the buses do not come that frequently, especially on Sundays. As such, do factor in both transport costs and time while planning.

We had an amazing time in Edinburgh, and our stay at Shafesbury Park was definitely a contributing factor! Thanks Anke for your amazing hospitality and for all the effort you put in to make us feel at home! We highly recommend this place and would definitely be back here!
