We felt good about our booking and our host before we arrived, but were blown away by this flat when we saw it in person! Ali was a fantastic host. Incredibly responsive and friendly. After walking from Waverly (not a short jaunt but doable with only our backpacks), we were greeted with only one flight of stairs, yay! The attention to detailed hospitality and thoughtful touches was beyond! The location was perfect for watching NYE fireworks over the castle as it was rainy and cold out. It was also very convenient for walking anywhere. Taxis were close as well, although we only used them once. All in all, we felt at home here for our three days in Edinburgh. Stay here if you can!
