Once again, my stay at Alan’s flat in Stockbridge was damn near flawless. The apartment is extremely comfortable, roomy, quiet, well-stocked for cooking or dining in and hosting (I had to stay in Edinburgh for a month for business, and ended up entertaining people I worked with. The plentiful seating was perfect for such situations!). The location really couldn’t be better—I love the little shops in Stockbridge and it now feels like my home away from home. Alan also arranged to have the cleaner come in mid-stay since I was spending so much time there, and she was lovely and sweet and efficient. As a host, Alan was responsive: when the fire alarm went off once mid-day for no discernible reason he texted back immediately (thankfully it turned itself off in short order)! He was also flexible, especially when my plans changed last minute and I ended up having to check out later than planned on my last day in the flat. I really can’t recommend Alan’s flat enough—I definitely plan to stay here again should my travels bring me back to Edinburgh!
