We stayed at Steph’s for three weeks while Edinburgh was in Tier 3 pandemic lockdown, so not the touristy vacation experience most of the flat’s reviews are about, but a time to lay low and spend a lot of time in and around ‘home’, and for that it was 5 stars in all ways.
The proximity to the Water of Leith is really incredible. The Walk was a perfect way to get around town, and a great route to Stockbridge to shop for all kinds of provisions. The Waitrose on Comely Bank Road was a regular stop for us as well, so you can skip the Tesco Express experience completely if you want. The flat’s kitchen with all its counter-space and deep sink was perfect for cooking multi-course meals and cleaning up after. I’d also mention that the WiFi was the best we’ve had in our Airbnb experience. Steph definitely did not scrimp on bandwidth as hosts normally do.
We could quibble about small things: the management company was fairly useless for even the most mundane questions, like, “where are the outside trash bins?” and “why is the heat not going on?,” but Steph, who isn’t in Edinburgh, was always there to support her Support Team when needed. Her kindness and desire to please was always clear, and we are grateful for her being able to make herself available when needed. That’s what makes a Superhost a Superhost. Many thanks!
