We had a great time staying at James apartment. It had a great view of both the city and the nature surrounding it, which we enjoyed a lot – it really captured the atmosphere of Edinburgh from just looking out the window.
The apartment had everything we needed. It was very clean and functional. James had made a sheet of his favorite places to visit in Edinburgh, which was a nice gesture and made us feel very welcome. It gave us a chance to not only see the touristy sights of Edinburgh but also discover the small, local places.
Overall the atmosphere of the place was really nice and we would definitely recommend everyone to stay there.
I must mention - not very proud of it - that we forgot that the checkout time was at 11 am even though it said so in both the email exchange with James and in the rules laid out on the coffee table. For some reason I got it mixed up with the check-in time, which was at 2 pm, so that is entirely on me. However, the guy who came to clean up the place was so friendly and gave us time to pack up our things without hurrying or anything (although we did of course hurry up to make the place look as nice as we could to show some kind of appreciation).
Thank you, James, for your hospitality. We would most definitely love to come back and we promise (!) that we will not be confused of when to check-in and -out. Peace
