We just stayed 2 nights in Simon's flat in Leith and we are absolutely happy. We are glad we had chosen his flat while exploring Edinburgh.
We felt home as soon as we walked into the flat. It was SPOTLESSLY CLEAN! It was very cozy and warm. The flat has everything a family needs to feel comfortable.
The beds were comfortable and the sheets were clean. I mean, it's supposed to be like that but not every host takes good care of their properties and customers.
Simon and Steven were great in communication. They mstaged early on the day with a ton of useful information about check-in. Steven even sent a video with the exact loaction of the flat. Very handy!
The flat itself has a beautiful view of the river and its about 15-20 min by Uber to Princess street/Royal mile. If you're in Edinburgh only 1 day though it's probably better to stay central, but if you have a few days in Edinburgh then this flat gives you a good night sleep outside o the hustle and bustle of the city center.
That being said we would definitely stay here again! And definitely dine in at The Fishmarket seafood restaurant like Steven had recommended. It was delicious!😋
