A great stay at this Airbnb property in Edinburgh - we travelled as a family of 4. It is located in the area of Leith which is the harbour area by the sea and has a nice view of the sea from the side windows. On arrival, as we were a little early, we headed to the Ocean Terminal which is a brand new shopping centre with various restaurants and shops vey close by. This is located right next to the Royal Yacht Britannia.
We were greeted by the owner of the property at the flat and shown around when we checked in which was a seamless experience.
The complex of flats are very modern and rooms were very clean, had good facilities and generally exceeded our expectations. The flat has a nice Science theme throughout which was good as our kids actually learnt a few things. There are two large double bedrooms, one with an en suite, which worked well for our needs. All facilities like washer dryer, ironing board etc were very useful. There were also some board games and a Meccano set that our kids aged 6 and 9 enjoyed playing with
On day one we took a trip to the centre of Edinburgh and the Royal Mile where we visited the Castle and went for lunch. The bus stop is literally 5 min's walk from the flat and the actual bus journey took around 15 min's.
Day two we took a trip to Edinburgh Zoo which was a 20 min drive across town. A great day out
On our final day we went to the Dynamic Earth exhibit which is an interactive family museum, again approx. 15 min drive, which our kids really enjoyed. This place was situated right next to Arthurs Seat the extinct volcano which we climbed for some amazing views of the city.
All in all a great trip. Communications were clear and concise from the host and I would highly recommend the accommodation
