My daughter and I have just returned from our Christmas stay in Ian's Edinburgh flat and I don't think things could have been better. When we arrived it was about -1 outside and the flat was warm and welcoming; a real home from home. We both agreed that the pictures do not quite do it justice as it is much more spacious and the decor has lots of personal touches which enhance the atmosphere overall. Everything was very clean and you really want for nothing; the beds are particularly comfy I found.
Yes , there are lots of stairs to climb, but it is well worth it. One of the bedrooms even gives you a view of the castle. Situated on the edge of the Meadows, there is plenty locally on offer and Princes Street is about an interesting 20 minute walk away; the Grassmarket and The Royal Mile about the same.
We did not actually get to meet Ian and his co-host Brian, but Brian was very friendly and quick to respond to any messages I sent. I highly recommend staying at Ian's. I would definitely stay again. Cheers guys for making our Christmas extra special. xxx
