Calim's flat was such a lovely place to stay that at times we regretted having booked so many things to do while we were in Edinburgh. It would have been good to spend more time indoors to enjoy the space and explore Calim's books and CDs.

This was a real home from home for us and we really liked Calim's thoughtful attention to detail throughout the flat and in providing essentials like juice milk and tea and coffee. It felt more like we were staying with a chum who had just popped out for a while than a commercial arrangement.

And to anyone worried about those 76 stairs - don't be. They are not nearly as daunting as you might think. We are in our 60s/70s and if we can manage them - anyone can!
