We spent 3 nights over a long weekend at James’ place for our first visit to Edinburgh and couldn’t really have hoped for more! The property is really conveniently located for exploring both the west end and the touristy spots in town, about 5 mins walk from Princes Street and roughly 15 from the Royal Mile. The facilities were excellent - everything you would need for a short stay. We didn’t really need to use the kitchen other than for making coffee in the morning etc. so was ideal for us.
It’s located on a quiet road in a nice area and felt very secure so we didn’t have to worry about noise or safety when sleeping/exploring at night. Communication beforehand was helpful and efficient - James sent us instructions to gain access and some other info about the property in advance of our stay which made everything really easy. Perhaps most importantly, the bed was super comfortable and the apartment was really warm and toasty - a big bonus for two southerners who came really underprepared for the cold weather!
Would highly recommend and definitely consider staying again if we are ever back in Edinburgh, thanks James!
