After spending the first 5 days of our trip staying in hotels in both New Town & Stirling for a wedding, it was great to finally feel at home in the city at Dunc & Dee's! My boyfriend and I were welcomed with fresh flowers, a fridge stocked with milk and prosecco... and can't forget the delicious homemade shortbread cookies! (The best cookies we had while visiting Scotland). Their place is amazingly quiet and safe for its super close proximity to the royal mile and many other tourist attractions. We walked everywhere! It was more than we ever could have hoped for in a home for 5 days. And a great location for all of the places we wanted to explore while there. We got so exhausted being tourists all day, that it was really nice to come home, relax on the couch, and watch some Netflix with a glass of wine in the evening.
BONUSES:
1) The living room window has a stunning view of Calton Hill!
2) The apartment is decorated with very trendy/well designed posters & illustrations (which was a huge perk for the graphic designer/art nerd in me)!
3) Maybe silly, but practical to note, the water pressure/temp in the shower is awesome after a long day exploring!
4) The kitchen is painted in the cheeriest blue color, and sure to put you in a good mood first thing in the morning!
Long story short, you will LOVE this place! I can't recommend it enough!
