The snug was the perfect stay for the beginning of our Scotland trip! Upon first view, Ashlie and Grant’s snug was adorable and cozy; the perfect size for our needs. The bed was very comfortable and the mounted television was perfect for watching UK game shows (our favorite!). The apartment was sparkling clean and all the amenities were fantastic. The towels were bright white, soft and large and the electric shower was wonderfully warm and clean. Ashlie and Grant had lots of great local tips and all of their location directions and house manuals were easy to understand and user friendly. Now, let’s talk about location! Wow! You are within walking distance of amazing sites (Edinburgh castle, the royal mile, Victoria Street, Greyfriars) and great restaurants. We found a convenience store just a block down, for water and any snack or toiletry needs, and Grassmarket is incredibly lively and felt safe at all hours. (We even had a few late nights and we felt very safe.) We did a lot of vintage and charity shopping, and there a lot of great spots right nearby. In fact, we never had to take a taxi or bus during our stay at the snug. For reference, I did live in NYC for a while, and am very comfortable walking, but I think even a less active group would still find the snug a great central location for all your touristing needs. We saw lots of bus and taxi options if you aren’t comfortable walking. If you are looking at Ashlie and Grants snug, book it now! Don’t hesitate, you will not regret it. The area is incredibly cool and the snug fits right in. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
