Alison’s place was perfect for our family of four (two adults and two kids under 10) and she is a truly wonderful host! I highly recommend staying here! Even before our trip Alison was communicative and provided some great suggestions on places to visit. We experienced travel delays on the day we we’re supposed to arrive and she checked in with genuine concern to see if we were alright and was very accommodating about our changed arrival. She even left us some treats /provisions which were much appreciated after our longer than expected travel! Her place is large and has everything a family needs to feel at home away from home! She left a great set of notes to orient us to the house to provide more suggestions and other information helpful for travelers! We especially loved her back yard and garden. The location is excellent and we were able to easily walk or catch transit to all the neighborhoods and places we wanted to visit. There are supermarkets, coffee shops, restaurants, and playgrounds all within a 5-min walk, which was great for our family! Above all, her communication and thoughtfulness really made our experience! We definitely hope to visit Edinburgh again and stay at Alison’s place!
