What a wonderful home away from home! I stayed over Christmas and absolutely loved Amanda's place. It is a beautifully renovated and appointed large apartment in a perfect location to restaurants, bars, shops and attractions. The apartment is located in an 1800s building in the UNESCO World Heritage area of New Town and I felt like I had an experience of living in central Edinburgh. Everything was as pictured and all furnishings were very comfortable. The apartment was absolutely spotless. I really appreciated the fully stocked kitchen with everything I needed and more to cook Christmas lunch. Amanda had lots of lovely touches to welcome her guests and was a great communicator. I highly recommend Amanda's place. As she notes in her listing, the apartment is on the 1st floor with an original 1800s turnpike stone staircase. I didn't find it difficult to get bags up and down, but those with mobility issues may have challenges.
