Jonathan’s place is a spacious, well-appointed flat in an ideal location for a fantastic price.
My husband and I stayed in the flat for 4 months while exploring Edinburgh and Scotland beyond, and we had a great experience with the flat and Jonathan as a host.
The space:
Very roomy and pretty. Filled with plants, natural light, and gorgeous views. Lots of extra towels and sheets, a comfy couch, and a well-equipped kitchen. The appliances were not modern (think: no dishwasher/garbage disposal), but we cooked quite often and everything worked great.
The neighborhood:
Simple, quiet, safe. I never worried about walking around alone at night. Super close to a Tesco, several good pubs and cafes, and a bakery close by. The flat is steps away from the Royal Mile and a short 15-20 minute walk to Waverley Station, so it’s easy to explore farther afield. You can easily walk to any place of interest in Edinburgh from the flat. The building does not have a lift, so be prepared for stairs.
The host:
Jonathan is lovely. Extremely hospitable and very quick with communication. We had a minor issue with the bathroom faucet and he had it fixed right away. We would be very pleased to stay in his place again.
