OK, I have to think someone reading this review will think it's a bit over the top with praise, but I assure you, I would double and triple the "5 Stars" if I could!
We were alerted to Ali & Al's flat almost by accident, as someone had just canceled a trip and it became available during the difficult-to-book-time of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. What a stroke of luck. We peeked at the pics of the rental and it looked very nice. When you arrive, you realize it is even more lovely than expected.
We were able to not only chat almost immediately with our hosts through the AirBnB App, but through What'sApp once we made the initial contact and payment. Having done so, we were able to hook up and move into the Duplex directly from our trip in from EDI Airport.
From there, as you can see from most all of the reviews previous to ours...Yes, it's that lovely, only better...
From the fresh bread greeting us for sustenance on our arrival, to all the lovely amenities and accoutrements, you'd be hard pressed to outfit the apartment better.
The mugs, bowls, measuring cups, pots and pans, every cooking item possibly needed, french press, spoons, oatmeal/porridge, butter, milk, and juice, etc. All lovely.
And surrounded by many pieces of Ali's glorious artwork adorning the walls...sweet meditation.
We were there for Edinburgh...(Arthur's Seat is on perfect view, framed in the skylight of the living room)...but we found ourselves coming back to the flat midday a couple of times, to rest from all the walking and Festival's shows.
Check out was easier than check-in. Except for saying goodbye, as we've been completely taken in by, not only Scotland (we'll be back!) but even more so by our gracious hosts Ali & Al.
Stay here, should you be lucky enough to find it available!
