This was our first AirBnb experience and we would all give this experience a 10/10. Scott and his team delivered a very professional service, clean facilities and great location.
Prior to departure we received all the instructions we needed for our stay. They were proactive and the information they gave helped us feel safe this would be a pleasant experience without any trouble.
We were a group of 5 traveling together and the facilities offered big, spacious common areas; living room and kitchen, three double-bedrooms - two of them with en-suite and one shared bathroom. The building also had a lift to the third floor where we stayed. The overall quality of the place was very good, and in fact, much better than many hotels in Edinburgh, to a better price (compared at the time of booking).
The location is great with a short walking distance from the train station, lots of shops, bars, cafés and restaurants. There is a coop across the street where one can buy food, and "everything" else is within walking distance.
The only thing worth mentioning is the noise you get at night. The bedroom facing the castle has a nightclub across the street, and also lots of people walking past on their way home from pubs and night clubs. We only really had this problem one of the three nights we stayed. The other two bedrooms are facing the back and experience the continuous background noise of fans running and the occasional bar emptying glass in the container. Overall it didn't bother us, and was to be expected of such a centrally located flat.
