Alison’s retreat exceeds the listing’s description! It is so well positioned for exploring Edinburgh that you’ll be amazed at what is within a five to ten minute walk. You’ll be spoiled for choice for the great food and shopping options nearby. The Whiski Bar was a fun night out and was literally a 3 minute walk from the front door.
Yes, it is a one bed room flat, but it is so well organized that we never felt cramped in any way. The linens and towels were very nice and the decor was updated and cute. The heating was adjustable and the place was well insulated from the cold. The shower had plenty of hot water for both of us.
Best of all, Alison has made sure that her guests are ready for the first morning after traveling. The kitchen was stocked with tea, coffee, sugar, milk, and crumpets. What a wonderful treat, being able to sleep in just a bit the first morning and enjoy a hot cup of caffeine (your choice) without running to the store.
Lastly, we were traveling on to York by train and we had no problem getting an Uber to the train station. It was fast and quite inexpensive. Just a 7 minute ride down the road.
We hope to return again soon.
