Duncan was a brilliant host. Always quick to reply to emails and texts, and so helpful and thoughtful when communicating too. I prefer talkative hosts who want to make sure you have a comfortable and lovely stay - the extra care to recommend places and chat as a friend would when visiting their hometown or somewhere they know really well!

The flat itself is extremely spacious... it's hard to call it a "flat" actually, as it's so big! There's an unobtrusive mezzanine with a double bed, a huge king bedroom with en suite and mass amounts of storage facilities, twin room, another double bedroom AND there's also a sofa bed too. Not to forget the great sized shared bathroom with bath/shower also. The kitchen is fully equipped (though there's so many cupboards we forgot where everything was quite often, ha!) and the fire in the living/dining area kept that space cosy and warm. All other rooms have heaters you can control yourself.

No fault with this place whatsoever, we had a beautiful time in Edinburgh... the Christmas Markets were spectacular! We were a quick ten minute walk from the Ocean Terminal shopping mall and cinema (and port!), enjoyed a delightful (if a bit fancy ;) ) meal at Tom Kitchin's michelin starred "The Kitchen" also a ten minute walk away, and headed into town (you can get there by bus or by taxi... or walk!) to explore the city every day. There's also a tesco express opposite which was really convenient for supplies.

Quick note: it's on the top floor with quite a few stairs to get up so this might be tricky if you are travelling with the elderly or impaired.
