Maria and Stephanie's place was such a wonderful home base for our stay in Edinburgh and visits around Scotland. The apartment is well-appointed, with a lovely view and great amenities nearby: a Sainsbury's across the street made food shopping a breeze, and their suggestions for nearby shops and activities were great (Safari Lounge, not more than 100 feet away was a warm and friendly local pub with good food and great hospitality). The dedicated parking space gave us the confidence to rent a car for our Highlands adventure, and - contrary to my memories of visiting friends in the UK - the apartment was toasty and cozy the whole stay.
Maria and Stephanie were great communicators - very prompt with suggestions and answers to any questions. Above all, they arranged a baby cot and high chair for us without hesitation - accommodations that made all the difference! We found the area well-connected to both old and new town, but also charming in its own right - a great bakery, wine shop, and some unique Edinburgh restaurants were either within easy walking distance or a short bus trip. Highly recommend!
