Charlotte's place was exactly as advertised. The place is located right in the heart of Old Town and within minutes to all the sights, museums, shops, restaurants, and parks. On the day we arrived, we had told Charlotte to meet us at 2:00pm at the flat and we were delayed and didn't get connected to send her a message, so she ended up waiting for us in the flat for 2 or more hours! And when we finally arrived, she still greeted us with huge smiles and sat with us for a while giving us tips and showing us around the flat. The location was ideal for us because it was also right next to our daughter's place. The kitchen was fully equipped and Charlotte had filled the fridge with a lot of essential basics such as a fresh loaf of bread, orange juice, milk, cereal, butter and jam in addition to a closet full of spices and herbs to add to our meals. The hot water ran 24 hours in the kitchen. The bathroom was very clean. The bedsheets and towels were also clean. We used the washing machine twice and it worked perfectly. As well as the iron and ironing board.
When we were held up in the house with a nasty flu, we were able to catch up with the World Cup games on the small, but very clear TV! She also had a wide range of books that one could choose from.
The only setback for us was that we had not noticed when we booked that it was 4 floors up! So we tried to limit our returns to the flat if they weren't necessary.
To put it simply: Charlotte's place felt like home.
Thank you Charlotte and we will definitely stay again when in Edinburgh.
