We were really pleased with Rosie's place. Check-in was a breeze: Rosie had us buzz the neighbor who cheerfully gave us the keys and made sure we knew how to lock the apartment door securely. The apartment is spacious, very comfortable, clean and well organized. The layout, the furnishings and the decor are all very pleasant. Rosie left us a teatime Scottish treat and a thoughtful handwritten welcome note. We immediately felt at ease and right at home! In fact it was our very first experience with an Airbnb that DID NOT require us to spend precious time locating things in the flat or wondering how to operate an appliance or adjust the shower or turn on the heat, etc. Nothing was missing or mystifying - or too fussy or complicated! Rosie has clearly made thoughtful, considerate and tasteful choices in every room so that guests can settle in quickly, effortlessly and happily. In our experience, those personal touches make a world of difference: the accommodation is truly inviting and guests feel welcome! (The hanging pouch with pairs of light, cozy and comfy slippers just inside the front door is but one example!) The location is delightfully central and was absolutely ideal for us since the purpose of our visit was to see our daughter who is a new student at the University of Edinburgh and residing in University housing in the neighborhood. Note: "Potential for noise" is mentioned in the Policies section. Yes, the sound of traffic on Pleasance is noticeable but it proved to be a nonissue. I am a light sleeper so I preferred the smaller bedroom at the back which is quiet (but where the bed is not quite as comfortable). Also, you will hear the neighbors stirring in the apartment above from time to time because the floors will occasionally creak - and rather loudly! (A very common condition of older buildings, in my experience!) Consequently, this can make sleeping later than 7 am a bit of a challenge! (But to be among the early birds in Edinburgh is not exactly a cruel fate! We loved all the friendly coffee shops in the neighborhood, most of them only around a 5 minute walk from the flat!)
