We stayed in Claudia's place for a long weekend and highly recommend it. We'd have given it 6 stars if Airbnb allowed it. The apartment is very spacious, tastefully and freshly decorated, immaculately clean and very comfortable. It has a lovely, bright living room, exceptionally comfortable beds and a very well equipped kitchen and separate utility room. It looks good in the pictures but the reality is even better. There are thoughtful touches like the board games, local guidebooks and an interesting selection of books. It would be all too easy to stay in the apartment and not venture out !
The apartment overlooks the plant nursery of the Botanic Gardens and is in a very quiet road of elegant Georgian villas. Parking is easy - right outside the apartment and free at weekends and evenings. The apartment's in a great location, in Stockbridge, which is just to the north of New Town.
Stockbridge is charming - lots of leafy avenues and parks and a village-y atmosphere. It has great cafes, pubs, restaurants, a Sunday market, and places to walk - and much nicer in many ways than the over-commercialised centre of the city. Claudia is an excellent host - very welcoming, thoughtful, and all communication was helpful and timely. We had a great time - our only regret that we couldn't stay longer.
