I had a brilliant one month stay at Chantal's beautiful and comfortable flat and would recommend it for anyone wishing to have a stylish base for visits to Edinburgh.
Located close to bus stops for 15 min journey in to Princes Street or an easy half-hour walk, it was great for everywhere I needed to go. Whilst there is paid-for / resident-only parking in the street itself, free on-street parking can be found just an 10 minute walk away by a lovely park - and you can walk to and from this along the Waters of Leith, which makes you wonder if you're still on the city! The little shops, bars and delis of Bruntsfield can be walked to in under 10 minutes and the green spaces of Bruntsfield Links and the Meadows are a great place to relax if you have the joy of a sunny Scottish day! Portobello beach is reachable by a couple buses in about 45 mins.
As well as corner shops at the bottom of the road, there's a nearby Sainsbury's Local and it's around the corner from Fountain Park with its cinema and range of restaurants. However, cooking at the flat is easy with full facilities.
The flat is located on a relatively busy road and there's a pub up the street on the opposite corner so if you like to sleep with window open and are a particularly light sleeper, it might take a little bit of adjusting to, but the tenement itself is very quiet and without fail *everyone* I saw locally was friendly.
Communication and making arrangements with Chantal was really easy and friendly and for this and all of the above I would highly recommend this Airbnb and happily stay again!
