I have had just had the most brilliant trip to Edinburgh, staying at Robert’s wonderful apartment in Leith. I had a bit of a disastrous trip with a burst tyre on the A701 but arrived and the instructions I received from Robert were all very clear, thank you! Robert also checked that I was ok which was a great personal touch.
There is plenty of parking in a very quiet area just off The Shore in Leith behind the building. My sat nav in my car was sending me in strange directions, so if you’re unfamiliar with the area, use Google maps instead. You basically turn into the road at Hemingways pub to get to the car park.
What a beautiful setting it is with a view of the water. The apartment is very secure and as a female staying her own, I felt very safe. There are two doors with locks before you get to the apartment!
The apartment itself is wonderful. Lots of space for me and it was very warm without the heating on. I didn’t eat in as I was eating out in the fabulous restaurants that Leith and the centre of Edinburgh have to offer. However, if I had wanted to eat in, the kitchen was fantastically equipped with everything you need. There’s lots of tea and coffee available in the apartment too. The decor is well thought out with lots of very interesting antiques and I want to seek out some of the chests for myself…. Brilliant storage with lots of heritage.
Sleeping was literally a dream! A super comfy bed and memory foam pillows… I’m off out to buy a pair over the weekend.
I’ve stayed in quite a few AirBnBs and a lot of them are very similar. This is not , it is simply quite unique.
Thanks so much Robert for a fabulous stay. I hope to come back very soon.
