Confession: this was not our first choice - but we cannot imagine a better experience! Aleks was a complete and wonderful joy to meet! Excellent communication before, during, and even after our stay. She made sure we had any and everything we could possibly need - from towels, to keys, to beverages and snacks... she took very good care of us! The apartment itself was spacious yet homey. And super clean! We utilized 3 bedrooms and the futon in the living room and it was perfect. Also super helpful is the location. Easy walk (including some stairs!) to Sainsbury (grocery store) and TWO pound stores!! The bus stops were easy to find and navigate - making excursions simple and accessible. All 4 of us (4 individual friends traveling together) have bookmarked Aleks’ place in case we’re ever again in Edinburgh!
