We are a couple in our 60s who were given the gift of a two night/three day stay in Edinburgh as a Christmas present from our sons. Lucky us! We absolutely LOVED the flat. It is well kept, stylish, immaculately clean and contains absolutely everything which could possibly be needed for a happy stay. It was our first trip to Edinburgh and Maggie had given us careful directions. She dd not demand an exact time for us to be at the flat to meet her, but instead was flexible in her approach and asked us to ring her when we were about 15 mins away. This really helped, as our flights had been delayed and it avoided us having to dash frantically around trying to make up lost time.
Maggie showed us round the flat, making it easy for us to understand where everything was and how everything worked. At the end of our stay, Maggie was flexible in her approach in terms of letting us leave our luggage there as we had a late flight back. This easy going and helpful attitude seemed very much a part of Maggie’s approach to her guests, and it was very much appreciated.
The flat is situated just a short 2-3 minute walk into Stockbridge. It was very peaceful staying there - we did not hear noise from other residents at all. We did not have a car with us but noticed a reasonable number of parking spaces. The flat is near a walk alongside a river which takes you to the bridge, and Stockbridge is spread out before you. A very friendly place with lots of individual shops (including some very interesting charity shops!) and loads of places to dine and have drinks.
Highly recommended.
