Axel was an outstanding host. Very quick to respond to any messages sent. Very flexible with check in and check out. The apartment was fresh and airy, had everything we required, the light in the apartment was beautiful when the sun shone through the two large windows into the living room. The second bedroom had shutters to block out the light. Vital during the summer months in Scotland. The room upstairs was functional and again the windows had blinds allowing us to block out the light. The master bedroom was nice too with a comfortable bed, high quality bed linen. Towels were in plentiful supply and of a high quality. There was a washer and a drier. Axel went the extra mile on a couple of occasions; he sent his cleaners in midway through our stay to change sheets and towels and freshen the place up again. That was done at his cost. The apartment had a brand new TV in it and Axel had it set up with a Netflix account. Something went wrong (kids playing with the remote) and we lost the account. Axel quickly set up another account remotely - Netflix was an unmentioned extra. Leith is a thriving part of Edinburgh. The Shore is a decent walk away and has a multitude of very high quality eateries to choose from. The walk up Leith Walk to the centre of town is pleasant and not too demanding (even for our little kids) Bus stops are close by and provide links to the whole of the city if you’re feeling a little lazier or if the weather is more typical Edinburgh than we were lucky enough to experience. The whole experience was a positive one. I would thoroughly recommend staying at Axel’s apartment.
