Our month-long stay at Helen’s was fantastic. Our flight got in late, and we lost some luggage on the way over from the States, but Helen and Chris were very accommodating and waited an extra hour for us to arrive. We told them about the luggage situation when we got to the flat and asked them what the best course of action would be. The airline had Helen’s number and contacted her the next day letting her know that Jennifer’s luggage had arrived in Edinburgh. Helen had it delivered to her house, and Chris dropped it off at the flat for us. Again, thanks for that! They saved us a lot of worry by being so willing to go out of their way. You really can’t ask for better hosts than Chris and Helen. When we had issues with luggage, they were there. When we had issues with some electronic stuff, they were there. Helen and Chris really made us feel at home and at ease. In terms of the flat itself, it really has all you need and is just as the pictures show—a kitchen with easy-to-use appliances so you don’t have to eat out all of the time, a television with a great DVD selection in case you just want to stay in for the night, a good-sized bedroom with a comfortable bed, and a great view of Arthur’s Seat. The flat was in close proximity to just about everything—a couple minutes from Holyrood, Arthur’s Seat, the Royal Mile. We also walked to Grassmarket and Princes Street. Really, you can walk everywhere from Helen’s if you are willing. I even walked to the Royal Botanic Gardens one day—a bit of a trek, but worth it. What is also really nice is that there is a Tesco just across the street. Very convenient. I highly recommend Helen and Chris as hosts, and I highly recommend this flat as a good place for either short or long holidays. Thanks!
