Hazel’s apartment is absolutely beautiful. It’s stylishly and tastefully decorated and feels super homey and comfortable. It’s much better than some boutique hotels we’ve stayed in. We stayed there for 3 nights during our wedding weekend in Edinburgh and would have gladly stayed longer.
When we arrived, we found a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge and supplies for a continental breakfast - milk, croissants, butter and jams, tea and coffee, which was lovely and convenient.
Our wedding was on the Saturday and since we were getting ready there, by the time we left to head to our venue, the place was a bit of a mess. When we got back that evening, we found that Hazel had come in to do our dishes, tidied up a little and also hung a big ‘Mr and Mrs’ sign on the living room wall as well as a similar hanging above the headboard in the bedroom! It was incredibly sweet and thoughtful, and so heartwarming to experience that human beings who look out for others with small kindnesses like that still exist!
We checked out on the Monday morning and Hazel kindly allowed us to leave an hour later (11am instead of 10am). The city centre is only a 10 minute drive from the apartment, and there are plenty of buses in the area that will get you there, too. The area itself is nice and peaceful with plenty of pubs and a variety of nice restaurants nearby without having to venture into the main centre.
Overall, I highly recommend Hazel’s apartment. Do not hesitate to book! She indeed deserves her ‘super host’ status and we hope to visit again soon! :-)
