What a fantastic, hidden gem of a place! My partner and I spent a night here, and from the moment we opened the door we were just enchanted by the softly lit, tastefully decorated apartment. With its high ceilings, sensitively maintained original features, and the little arty touches throughout - chandeliers, paintings, ceramics, lampshades, exuberant mirror frames and even a fireplace in the bathroom - the apartment expressed the owner's artistic spirit in such a fun and engaging way that was instantly welcoming and cheerful. From the comfy king size bed with deliciously scrunchy white linen and opulent feather duvet, to the huge wooden shutters we closed at night over the original sliding sash windows, the room just had the feeling of pure luxury. Everything was immaculately clean, with that shabby chic aesthetic that I adore.
Tessa's comms were clear and helpful, and her use of the key safe was very relaxing as it meant we could take our time drifting around Edinburgh and just arrive when we got there, without being pinned to an exact time. Breakfast was just delightful, with freshly made bread, and Tessa brewed the coffee and chatted away like we were old friends. Totally the best airbnb experience I could ever ask for. We will make a point of visiting Edinburgh again specifically to wake up in Tessa's gorgeous apartment!
