My family and I stayed here for a week around the time of my graduation; Elizabeth was a fabulous host and the apartment was absolutely lovely.
Location: Very central, only a minute's walk from Princes Street, yet quite private as it is tucked away in a beautiful area overlooking Queen Street Gardens. Very close to Waverly train station, tram stops, and bus links. Lots of lovely cafes, restaurants and coffee shops in the area.
Check-in/out: The process was seamless, Elizabeth was in touch with me a few days prior to ensure we arranged check-in and check-out times that were mutually convenient and I really appreciated the flexibility on this front.
Apartment/Amenities: This is a lower ground floor apartment with two double bedrooms, two bathrooms (one is an en-suite), and a living room connected to an open plan kitchen. There is a small patio out back where we had many a nice quiet coffees when it wasn't raining. Overall the apartment is clean, spacious and very well maintained. The hosts left nice thoughtful touches including instructions on where to find things and how to operate electrics etc in the flat. All amenities including fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, television were as described.
Communication: Elizabeth was a kind and considerate host, very easy to communicate with via airbnb if we had any queries (response within the hour usually!). She really did make sure that our stay was as comfortable as can be and that we had access to everything we needed. Thank you!
We really enjoyed our time, will most certainly be coming back and could not recommend this apartment more highly for a short (or long) stay in Edinburgh.
