This was the 2nd Airbnb we have stayed in on our trip through England, Scotland and Ireland. I cannot tell you how incredibly gracious Patrick and Chee were to us on the trip. We were welcomed with tea on arrival, and by the time Patrick was finished we knew more about Edinburgh than what I had read in the travel books. The location is perfect for the Castle and local eateries. Bus and tour stops are just a few steps away and so is Waverly Station. With one of the few lifts in the St. Giles area the views from their 9th floor flat was terrific. You could see a bit of the Firth of Forth and the spires of churches and government buildings. Some lit up at night. With their helpful maps and dining list we had some of our best meals so far. Chee even made reservations for us at two local restaurants since we were without phones. When we left, it felt like saying goodbye to friends. If all Airbnbs hosts were as helpful as they were, we wouldn't stay in another hotel.
