The Arthouse by the sea was a pleasure to stay in, from beginning to end. Tamsin catered over and above our needs, including providing freshly baked bread, muesli, fresh coffee and fruit for breakfast, which was such a bonus.
The space is light, fresh feeling, spotlessly clean, comfortable and user friendly. We were left to our own devices and felt completely independent, which is what we wanted from an Airbnb. However, Tamsin made it clear too that she was nearby if we had any questions or needed anything; she said she'd also welcome texts or emails if that was easier than in person. On the third day we returned from Edinburgh and found a bag containing more fresh bread for the following morning. Tamsin had very thoughtfully anticipated our needs, which we so appreciated.
We loved the location of the Arthouse. The local aspect of the promenade alongside Portobello beach felt very special and we enjoyed sampling the local eateries and viewing the interesting local architecture. It was also very easy to catch the bus or train in to Edinburgh - the local station Brunstane is only a 15 minute walk from the Arthouse, taking approx 7 minutes to Waverley Station.
The Art on the walls of the Arthouse was an added bonus and we purchased a couple of Tamsin's card which she has on display. The decoration has been really thought about and made our stay more pleasurable.
We had a very comfortable and happy time at the Arthouse and would recommend it and Portobello highly.
