I couldn't imagine a better place to stay in Edinburgh or a warmer welcome
to the beginning of our trip in Scotland. Alan is an amazing host and his
apartment is bright, clean and very comfortable. The room has everything
you need - a super comfortable bed, an adapter, a hairdryer, the fluffiest
towels and a lovely little bathroom all to yourself. As soon as we arrived,
Alan brought us into the kitchen and made us some tea. I felt like I was
arriving in an old friend's home. We were only in Edinburgh for a couple of
days and had a lot of things we wanted to do. Alan gave us tips on which
places to skip and which ones to add to our itinerary.

Regarding the location: it's in a lovely, quiet part of Edinburgh, along
the Water of Leith. You can either walk straight from the apartment into
the center of the action (about 20-30 minutes with lots to see along the
way) or walk along the river about 5 minutes and hop on a bus. There's also
a really cute cafe/shop (Earthy) 5 minutes from the apartment - we went
there for lunch before heading to the more touristy stuff.

This was my first time using Airbnb and I was a little unsure about what to
expect. Thanks to Alan, I'm now a huge Airbnb fan. When we come back to
Edinburgh, we will definitely try to stay with Alan again!
