Absolutely a fantastic Airbnb.
Anne was really quick to respond – a blessing for us as we unknowingly came to Edinburgh during the Rugby festival and literally ALL of the hotels, hostels, BnB’s were booked for the weekend.
She was really accommodating too, we didn’t arrive to her place until midnight and that was no problem, she greeted us and made us feel very welcome.
Even though she warned us that her place was a bit of a mess, it was NOT. And our room was prepared as well. As for the location, it isn’t particularly close to Edinburgh but not particularly far! There is a train station 15 minutes’ walk away with a return ticket for 4.50 (15 minutes on the train to Waverly Station/downtown Edinburgh), or a bus stop for the 40B about 5 minutes’ walk away (30 minutes to downtown Edinburgh).
Across the street are the shops, groceries, etc. And down the street is a lovely pub (open until 1am, great beer and service)!
Anne herself was wonderful. Beyond friendly, really accommodating, offered us everything we needed and more. She recommended things to do in Edinburgh which were quite fun, ensured we knew how to get where we were going, made us coffee in the morning and offered something to eat, and had no problem with when we came back (even when it was at 3am).
She has a new baby who was no bother at all and is generally super adorable (/quiet) :)
Absolutely delightful 10/10, would recommend staying with her!
Also in the house: 3 rabbit who would not let us pet them but that’s okay :’)
