Calim was so friendly, kind and easy to communicate with. When we arrived, we were in a huge hurry to get to a show, so he met us at the flat entrance, gave us the keys took our bags up to the flat for us to save us time. A tremendous help. Later when we let ourselves into the flat, a bottle of champagne was awaiting our arrival (in the fridge) with chilled glasses as a honeymoon present. Calim is a very hospitable and generous man.

The flat was absolutely gorgeous. We didn't want to leave! Exactly as described in the listing. We had some of our best sleep too in the bookshelf bed. The high ceilings, the light through the shutters, the enormous array of books and the Nina Simone cd on repeat in the sound system - a truly beautiful space. There are lots of stairs to climb to get up to the flat but compared to climbing Arthur's Seat, they're a breeze! Right on Royal Mile, it's the perfect location.

Calim recommended some restaurants to us. Lucano's Kitchen is a must! Laid back feel, great tasting food and a two minutes walk from the flat. We needed to book for the restaurants Timberyard and Kanpai, so unfortunately we missed out. However, the Michelin star restaurant Castle Terrace is a must for anyone desiring a culinary adventure. (You'd need to book for this place too.) Urban Angel was another lovely food hot spot we ate at for lunch. Just around the corner (literally) is Bramble, a great cocktail bar if you like being tucked away by candle light with hiphop classics playing in the background.

A fabulous, jam packed three nights in Edinburgh. We loved every minute and hope to return to this very place … so Calim, please keep your flat on AirBnB for much longer!
