We stayed at Alison’s and Christian’s place for two nights. Alison mostly took care of us, but they were both lovely hosts, very friendly and helpful and easy to communicate with even before departure.
Their house was easy to find, about a 20-minute walk from Waverley Station, with some nice first views of the city. Upon arrival, Alison made us feel right at home, as did the house cat!
The neighbourhood was quiet, a great breakaway from the busy city centre (especially with the August Fringe festival!), and our room was spacious, clean and had everything we needed (note: two flights of stairs up, no lift!). We enjoyed breakfast, a lovely self-serve buffet; no cooked options, but we found that no problem at all, as there was lots on offer. Alison was accommodating to us with an earlier breakfast time the day we had to leave early for our bus trip, which was great. Moreover, Alison’s recommendation for our last dinner in Edinburgh was a local suggestion that turned out to be a fantastic choice!
All in all, we enjoyed a short but lovely stay and would definitely recommend their place when visiting Edinburgh!
