If you are thinking about booking this Airbnb -- DO IT!! This is probably one of our favorite Airbnbs that we have ever stayed in, and we travel frequently. The room itself is absolutely stunning and it is clear that so much thought has been put into it -- the bed was very comfortable, the towels unbelievably plush, and there was everything and more that we needed in the room. Vixy Rae's amazing hospitality reminded us a lot of the "old" Airbnb and why we originally started staying in them -- she and the café staff were absolutely lovely, and had amazing recommendations for things to do in the area, particularly a few bars that we would have missed otherwise (definitely check out Panda & Sons and Kays Bar). The food at the attached café was also AMAZING and the staff there was just as delightful and helpful as Vixy Rae. Everyone went out of their way to accommodate our schedule (we arrived early and they managed to have the room ready, which was very welcome after a long travel day). We ended up having an extra lunch at the cafe just because it was such a nice atmosphere and the food was delicious.
In addition to being a beautiful room attached to a lovely café, it is in a beautiful area of Edinburgh. For those not familiar, "New Town" is still quite old (at least by American standards) and it's a wonderful place to walk around and admire the architecture, have a pint, and people watch. It is about a 20-25 minute, very scenic walk to most of the major tourist attractions in Edinburgh. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in the city. Thank you again, Vixy Rae and hope to be seeing you in the future!
