Irene's place really is an oasis. Step off the busy Edinburgh streets and you'll find a secluded tree covered entrance that is a veritable temple to everything quirky and kitsch. From the yellow retro kitchen to the red and white funkiness of the living room, there's no end to the creativity that it has taken to create such a wonderfully eclectic space.
We travelled to Edinburgh for a bit of a writing retreat so appreciated the peace, quiet and speedy wifi. The beds were comfortable and just short of full blown boudoirs – and the fridge was stocked with all the essentials to get you started.
Irene was a great communicator and left us nothing to ask or question.
I can see why some people would have a problem with this unique Airbnb, but more fool them for not embracing the sheer joy that has gone into the rooms and décor.
