This is a fantastic apartment, and really represents what Airbnb is all about for us. The apartment was beautifully decorated and extremely well equipped, with excellent WiFi and phone signal.

Aileen was an excellent host - very friendly, approachable and professional in her dealings with us. We felt confident from the point of booking that the apartment would be as described and that there would be no nasty surprises (as can happen sometimes).

Grassmarket suited us as an area, being located near the castle and Royal Mile - it's very lively, and we loved it. There's a good range of restaurants, but it is a tourist area, and was therefore very busy at times. Most of the pubs had live music, both traditional and current.

I highly recommend this apartment - we felt we couldn't have done better and would definitely stay again if we come back to Edinburgh.
