Carrie is an exemplary host. Everything just as I needed it. Can't recommend her highly enough. Easily accessible to central Edinburgh but in a neighbourhood with its own character. Yes, at the top of the stairwell but, as Carrie says, you only have to carry luggage up the stairs once & if it wasn't at the top of the building you would be able to see Calton Hill from the window. The flat is decked out with great panache & taste. Carrie's partner is an artist - you can buy prints of his tremendous drawings for next to nothing - if I could I would stay here several times a year - it really is that good - just what you hope an Air BnB place will be. Highly recommended. And somehow Carrie laid on tremendous sunny Edinburgh weather- in a week when London was cloudy & grey (I'm not sure Carrie can guarantee the meteorological factor though even though she's a super Superhost!)
