This was my first experience of using Airbnb and I was really impressed. The flat was really spacious and very very clean with all the equipment that you need to make it a home from home.
I was slightly nervous trying out someone else home but was reassured completely by the host and the excellent correspondence that was carried out (clear, friendly and informative).
I felt immediately welcomed and thought that the bottle of wine and food left for us was a very kind and thoughtful touch.
If all of my experiences with Airbnb turn out this good I will be over the moon!!
Additional notes; the apartment had a great local shop over the road which catered for our needs (the lovely lady in there also called a taxi for me to the station when I enquired about local taxi firms), buses are easy to access and regularly arrive to take you into the centre of Edinburgh (5-10 min journey), there was a lovely walk alongside the canal that also took you into the city.
Overall fantastic flat - would definitely recommend to others.
