I came to Edinburgh for a 3 day break with my mum. The reason for our trip was mostly due to the fact I had found this Airbnb in one of my favourite UK cities and was so bowled over by it that I had to see for myself. I was not disappointed by the reality- in fact, it beat all my very high expectations. We were met by a lovely friend of Calim's who showed us around (and incidentally gave us some excellent bakery recommendations- worth asking!) and made us feel welcome. The flat is located at the top of the Royal Mile, in the very heart of old Edinburgh. You get tourists and bagpipes outside, but that adds to the charm! The photos are exactly what you can expect- that is cosy old world glamour with historic features and imposing portraits mixed with cutting edge style and design. The book collection is better than my local library at home. The bed in the box (for want of a better description) is utterly charming. I've never experienced anything like it and reveled in telling all my friends at home about this epic feature! The flat is kitted out like a hotel, but better- with toothpaste, shampoos and conditioners, candles, a fully stocked fridge (with the best honesty box I've ever seen) hot water bottle, towels....basically we wanted for nothing and could have spent 3 days without leaving the flat. Calim came over specially at the crack of dawn on the last day to help us down the stairs with our heavy bags in time for our early train. A very charming host. I'm so impressed with the whole operation that I've already booked his other flat for next spring. Book this experience. You'll be glad you did!
