Our stay at Anke-Beate’s flat was exceptional from beginning to end. She has displayed her artistic talents throughout her home, from the decor to her paintings that she has done herself hung on the walls. The home is extremely bright and cheery with large windows looking out on beautiful flowering trees. The location is excellent, located near a canal to walk along, a park, and a convenient food market on the corner of her street. Anke welcomed us with lovely and generous gifts, including a bottle of wine, fresh fruit, candies and fragrant fresh flowers in the kitchen. She has the most comprehensive and helpful guide book of instructions for use of her appliances and information on travel and sights in Edinburgh . She doesn’t miss a detail and all of our communications with her were immediate and very pleasant. I couldn’t help but think about what an amazing and delightful person she must be to meet in person. Anke and her home made our stay in Edinburgh most pleasurable and memorable.
