The place was just like the pictures cute and cozy! She even decorated for Christmas! It was a very quiet stay, which was needed after walking around the city. I never met the hostess, but she was quick to respond to any questions by phone. No joke, the back yard is basically the first steps to Arthur’s Seat! She left breakfast items and that was a big help. The flat is on the ground floor which made it so easy with luggage. It is a bit of a walk to and from public transportation, only if you’re use to driving around everywhere back home. Bring water sandals to use in the restroom, it’s a “shower room” which means the whole room is the shower so it will be soaked, even after you squeegee the floor.
I felt safe walking around at night to the flat. I would definitely recommend the flat for your visit to Edinburgh!
