We would highly recommend Derek's flat to anyone visiting Edinburgh. It is so comfortable with everything you could need for your stay, a perfect home from home, you will not be disappointed. We really appreciated the little extras of milk in the fridge, tea & coffee + cookies when we arrived. Communications were second to none right through from booking to departure & Derek was always available to answer any questions.
We took Derek up on his offer to collect us from the airport as we arrived early evening and all went very smoothly.
We only stayed for a couple of nights on this occasion for Emily's uni interview at Easter Bush campus and Derek couldn't have been more helpful showing us the best bus routes to take and giving us lots of info on the local area. He also recommended downloading the Lothian transport app which we found very useful. There are plenty of maps & a wealth of information in the flat to help with your stay.
The city centre is about 20 mins walk along the Union Canal, (or there is a regular bus service) and there are plenty of restaurants and a Sainsbury's Local about 5 mins walk from the flat.
This was the perfect location for us in an immaculate flat. We will definitely be looking to book with Derek again to explore more of Edinburgh.
Thanks for being such a great host.
Helen & Emily
