Marvellous Airbnb experience that deserves 5 stars.
The flat was even better than pictures would suggest, in an absolute pristine condition and extremely clean.
First off Emily is a very organised and helpful host, who made this trip possible in first place by accepting the (during our travel time) mandatory day 2 covid test kit for us. She responds very fast and helped throughout the booking process and during the stay itself. Information booklet provided by Emily on the flat itself contained all the information you could need for any questions we had.
The flat is spacious, light and harmoniously decorated. The main bed (didn't try the other one) is very comfy and we got an extra coverlet for each. The sofas are very comfortable, even the detail of the beautifully soft rug, cushions etc (all small details but had an overall great impact to the comfort of the flat). Temperature control was very easy to use, and there was even Netflix available which was a great touch for the evenings in if you aren't going out into town. No issues with noise from other flats either, and is probably the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in.
The kitchen equipment was very clean and we found all kinds of cleaning products we could ask for including stuff for the dishwasher and washing machine to keep it clean throughout our stay. Not only was there a washing machine but also a drying rack, everything has been thought of by the host and she has truly created a space better than any hotel.
There were 2 good hairdryer you could actually use - not the cheap ones hotels have - my gf was very pleased about that! Bathrooms had shower gel/conditioner for m/f available.
The area around the flat is very quiet, but still central. An uber into city (Princess Street / North Bridge area) is about 5-7£ and available within 5 minutes. Busses stop just around the corner too and take you into town within a few minutes. Walking takes about 15-20 minutes and we would recommend walking up Calton Hill at least once to enjoy the good view over the city.
We enjoyed our stay alot and can unreservedly recommend it to everyone and will definitely book again when coming back to Edinburgh.
