My 2 friends and I stayed in Rachel's hip flat for one month while we were doing a hospital rotation for school. We LOVED it. The flat is very well situated in the city center, right across from the Edinburgh playhouse (definitely recommend seeing a production there). I liked that it wasn't right off the Royal Mile but still very central. It was quiet in the flat but close to everything you could need. Her home is so artistic, tasteful, and well equipped. All of the beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was lovely to cook in, the washer, dryer and dishwasher all worked well. When we arrived she had jam, cookies and pastries waiting for us! We had asked if she could provide some tupperware for us (we cooked at home almost exclusively and packed lunches) and later on a scale to weigh our bags. She promptly brought over each of these and was happy to do so. Rachel gave great suggestions for visiting Edinburgh as well. I have no complaints about our stay or any suggestions for improvement. It was all top notch and we'd stay there again in a heartbeat. Thank you Rachel for providing such a wonderful home away from home.
