I don’t leave too many heart felt reviews but Eilidih and Porteous Studio deserve one.
From day 1 Eilidh was helpful to accommodate me for an early check in after long travels. Upon arriving to the studio I was exhausted and needed to unwind and when I walked in it was like my mind had been read.
What is special about the studio is not how chic and modern it is. Although it is beautiful and the renovation deserves to be in magazines, it is the intention and thoughtfulness that are put into your stay. The tiny details and attention given to producing an amazing experience for the guest are extraordinary.
Everyday I discovered something new that was meant to make my trip better. I don’t even want to disclose these things in the review because I want to leave that joy of discovery fresh and new for future guests. But I will say there is so much thought and intent that have gone into making guests feel at home that it deserves 5 stars alone for that.
The cons: def in a busy area and if people don’t close the gate you will find some lads have wandered into the area or maybe some characters passionately exchanging words on the stoop. I did come during the weekend of fringe and an extremely busy time so I I’m sure it’s not always like this. Regardless though mI highly recommend and will absolutely stay here again when visiting Edinburgh.
