We visited Edinburgh for a very short holiday from Feb 4th - 6th. From the very start, Ewan was incredibly communicative and gave us everything we needed to make sure we could find his home. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel comfortable and welcome. Ewan was always so very helpful, always ready to give us recommendations for everything from coffee to sights.
Unfortunately, the less-than-ideal weather caused us to spend more time at home than exploring as we had intended. But it was difficult to feel anything but happiness in Ewan's company. His friendly personality and thoughtful conversation demonstrate that he genuinely wants to get to know you as an individual and values the sharing of ideas and interests. Ewan is also unbelievably generous and hospitable. I asked if there was any honey for a cup of tea I was making, and he insisted on braving the wind and rain to run and get some. He also came back with crisps for us to snack on, which was very kind.
Ewan's home is stylish and modern without sacrificing comfort, which is why the value still feels too good to be true! It's one of the cleanest, most organized spaces I've ever seen, and it is equipped with everything you will need for a pleasant stay. The location is far enough from the bustle of everything to feel intimate, yet it is close enough to the center of town to get around on foot. If you don't feel like going far, everything you need is close by: Sainsbury's is right next door, and you've got a Starbucks and multiple independent eateries and cafes within a 5 min walk.
If you are going to stay anywhere in Edinburgh, I would highly recommend staying at Ewan's Airbnb! You are in very good hands.
