WOW!!! I wish I had my own apartment just like Matthew and Fiona's! It was the PERFECT spot for my hubby and I. We stayed for just a couple of nights on our way passing through Edinburgh as part of a bigger roadtrip around Scotland. The place was PERFECT! It's a top floor apartment, which, in other places, might tend to get warm in the summer, but the windows opened at night, so we got the perfect breeze and slept comfortably cool. Another HUGE bonus for us was the brand-new combo washer/dryer. After 12 days in Scotland already, we were on our last remnants of clothing. They made the washer/dryer available for us to use and we had clean clothes for the remainder of our trip! I know it seems simple, but when you're traveling for that long, it made a huge difference for us.
The decor around the apartment was so cute. They made such great use of the smaller space.
Lastly, location -- WOW! Again, I wish I owned a place like this. It's literally a 3-minute walk to beautiful nature, 5-minute walk to the Queen's Edinburgh palace residence, and a 20-minute walk to the main strip of Old Edinburgh. We obviously walked everywhere! Oh, and we also brought our car -- we managed to get the last parking space left on their street, so parking was a little slim to pick from, however, it was summer during high tourism season, so that's totally what we expected. We were just glad to have had a free street place to park our car safely! I'm sure it's a little less busy in the fall/winter/spring. My hubby and I can't wait to stay at Matthew and Fiona's again some day (if they're still hosting :) :) )
