We have personal reasons for visiting Edinburgh regularly and struggle to find ‘perfect’ accommodation.
Our standards are admittedly high. We require a super king bed (hard to identify on Airbnb – why?), walking distance to city centre; and something well maintained, clean and ideally with lovely décor. An engaged host who responds speedily is also appreciated.
We then look for added value – e.g. an open fire in the winter or a garden or outside space in summer.
We are delighted to find this gorgeous apartment. A large living / dining / kitchen space beautifully presented and charming. A gorgeous log burner. A location that is quiet but a (long) stone’s throw from Princes Street. A helpful and generous host. So in my experience very hard to beat in Edinburgh.
Be aware on arrival it is not the most pretty street but don’t let that worry you.
Like other favourites I know many other people will discover this and we won’t always get it when we want it but when people put this investment and thought into a property they deserve success.
Enjoy.
