When you bond with an apartment and feel like you’re leaving home on departure day … Ellie and Scott’s place in Leith caught my eye on the internet and certainly didn’t disappoint in real life. It’s super spacious with absolutely no clutter, yet has absolutely everything you could possibly need. Plush percale bedding, luxurious towels, a Japanese bath to soak in after a day of pounding Edinburgh’s streets. I loved the radio and found myself happily listening to jazz and golden oldies whenever I was in the apartment. My morning ritual involved making coffee and sitting in the beautiful bay window of the master bedroom, just watching the passing parade on Easter Road.
I was within walking distance of pretty much everywhere I wanted to go and had the added good fortune of brilliant, sunny weather. I feel so lucky.
I honestly cannot imagine staying anywhere else when visiting the magical city of Edinburgh.
