This is a wonderful flat and the location couldn’t be better! We were able to walk to all of the places we wanted to go and Lesley was very accommodating, allowing us to drop off our bags early upon arrival. The amenities in this flat were the most outstanding I’ve ever seen in an Airbnb. Don’t worry about the stairs unless you have mobility issues...you walk so much during the day that the stairs are no big deal at all. My husband struggled with the small shower, but this was his first trip to Europe. In my opinion, the shower was great and I would consider it a very nice shower for an old, historic European flat. One small touch I loved was the small, portable mirror in the bedroom. It allowed me to put on my makeup in the living room in front of the natural light from the windows while my husband was still sleeping which was great. I highly recommend a stay at Lesley’s flat! We’ll definitely stay again on a return visit to Edinburgh.
