We stayed at Ben’s place under rather unusual circumstances, as it was our last week in Edinburgh after 5 years of living there. We were moving to Germany at the end of the months and simply needed a place to sleep and cook during the last week, while our flat was overtaken by boxes and chaos. We didn’t require much, but Ben’s place obviously far surpassed our expectations. It was a lovely and a safe haven from the chaos of boxes and moving. Furthermore, having a calm, unchaotic place to return to each night was really great for not just us but also our two dogs who were obviously quite thrown by the process of an international move.
The flat is impeccable and comfortable. The kitchen is more than sufficient for even more avid cooks. When I reached out to Ben about being allergic to fabric softeners, he went out of his way to make sure the bed linens and towels were laundered safely for my use, and I really appreciate that.
The area is also super nice and there’s a wee beach nearby as well — we just wish we could have explored and enjoyed it a bit more. Maybe next time, when we’re back for a visit rather than a life upheaval :)
