My husband and our two small children (3 year old and a 6 month old) had a wonderful stay in Edinburgh!
Janet and Iain are so welcoming and friendly! They welcomed us later than expected (we were late!) and offered us tea upon arrival. We had or own living space and bedroom, but a shared kitchen. We enjoyed chatting with them each morning, but also felt like we had the place to ourselves.
Iain walked us to the bus stop and told us the best way to see what we wanted to see. He was so helpful. The bus system is very simple. It was a very short walk (less than 5 minutes) and about a 10 minute ride to the castle. Easy!
Janet is so kind. She brought out toys and books for my 3 year old to enjoy. They made us feel so welcome.
The apartment itself is exactly as pictured. It was immaculate upon our arrival with a large, comfortable bed, lots of space to unpack, a bathroom with fresh towels and a few toiletries. The family room is set up to accommodate two (or 4?) people on the pullout sofas. Our 3 year old slept great there.
Overall, this was one of the best Airbnb experiences we have had to date. I was hesitant to share a kitchen, but it turned out to be very enjoyable and we were able to get some great travel tips from two locals! I would absolutely stay with Janet and Iain again. Additionally, Edinburgh is beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
The free parking in their driveway was a wonderful perk!
