Staying at Derek's place was such a delight. Everything from the location, design, added touches, and welcoming check in process was smooth and enhanced our Edinburgh experience.
Location: Conveniently and safely located with less than a 5min walk to restaurants, stores, and pubs. Walkable to old town and everything Edinburgh has to offer. We also found hourly parking on the street that allowed for us to park overnight as well. The area felt extremely safe and comfortable to walk around at night.
Check In process: Derek promptly met us there and showed us the apartment. He showed us a few features (how to use the washer/dryer, fireplace, etc.). He also gave local tips and provided us a map giving us tips on where to start our adventure, and good restaurants/cafes nearby. He provided two sets of keys, and a hard cover book with instructions to all apartment amenities.
Apartment: Immaculately restored Georgian apartment. It was clean, spacious, comfortable, and renovated within the last 2-3years. Bed was extremely comfortable with Egyptian linens. 2 empty wardrobes with hangers. Bathrobes also provided. Extra linens provided int eh closes. Upgraded bathroom with rain shower, heated towel rack, and dual vanity mirrors with lighting and cooling settings. Full appliances and kitchen supplies. Living room had two large couches with wool blankets, large TV, Bluetooth speaker, and gas fireplace.
Only con with Derek's place was it left our expectation of future AirBnb's too high! We would return without a doubt, and highly recommend to anyone! Enjoy!
