My grandson Hari and I were immediately warmly welcomed by Vroni and her daughter Sophie. This was our 3rd Airbnb experience, but the first in which we had stayed in someone's own home, so we didn't know quite what to expect. We needn't have worried! We had a busy timetable and were out and about during the day, coming back after supper. Vroni has a wonderful circle of creative friends and they invited me to join them, while Sophie was happy to include Hari in what she was doing - they are of a similar age. It was the first time for him to go Trick-or-Treating at Halloween, and they dressed up and did it in style!

The flat really is central, within 10 minutes walking distance of the Castle, and we also went to the Camera Obscura and the World of Illusions which were brilliant. So too was Dynamic Earth.

Edinburgh is such a vibrant city, and we were made to feel so at home by Vroni and Sophie during our 3 days, and we would love to come back.

Vivienne and Hari.
