We had a lovely (albeit too short) stay at Liz's place. It is a PRISTINE apartment with all the amenities one could want (including a few goodies Liz left to get us started). Liz met us at her place to handover keys, give us a walk-through and share tourist tips -- all good airbnb places we've stayed have a great host, and Liz is no different ... charming and thoughtful.
Everything in Edinburgh is walking distance for the fleet of foot. We had a 10 year-old and 8 year-old in tow, and they easily moved from Liz's place to Edinburgh Castle at one end of the city, through the chaos of the Fringe Festival in old town, up to the top of Arthur's Seat and back to Liz's apartment. Her spot proved an ideal base for exploring, while avoiding some of the noise and bustle of the Fringe.
For those driving in to Edinburgh and then unloading a rental car, it's worth noting that there is a National / Enterprise rental center and drop-off location just one block from Liz's apartment. Supreme convenience for us.
Our sincere thanks to Liz -- simply a top-notch, modern place that's well situated for adventures in Edinburgh.
