Let me preface this by saying that this was our first Airbnb stay so this was all uncharted waters for us.
Susie's Pleasance Street flat is located in a vibrant neighborhood close to the University of Edinburgh and Holyrood Park. It is a very easy walk to Old Town/Royal Mile, Princes Street, Waverley Train Station, numerous restaurants (great Greek cafe across the street,) grocery stores, etc. The neighborhood is well served by public transportation as well if walking is not your thing. Icing on the cake is free parking in the back and the view out the back window of Salisbury Crags.
We unfortunately did have a problem with the bed linens and bath towels which were either badly stained which we found to be unacceptable. To Susie's credit she was very apologetic when we contacted her and she did arrange for all the linens to be completely replaced which was done by the time we returned from eating an early dinner. After speaking with Susie we were left with the impression that she probably needs to check up on her cleaning crew to make certain the work she contracted for is being done.
Despite the problem if you are looking to be immersed in Edinburgh life for a period of time then this is the place for you!
