Fiona's place was the best airbnb we have ever stayed in and better than apartments we have rented through realtors on previous trips to Europe. The pictures show how lovely it is, but they don't show the little touches, like the comfy towels and bed linens, the well appointed kitchen, and the artwork and decor that truly make it feel like a home away from home. The apartment was walking distance away from exploring the castle, the Royal mile, shops and restaurants and though there were city sounds during the day, fairly quiet at night for being so close to everything. We were able to check ourselves in when we arrived after midnight due to a late flight using a lock box, which was convenient, and had to just put the keys back through the mail slot on departure. Fiona was available for questions as needed and sent a message ahead of time with all the information about the apartment that we would need, which was also available in printed form when we arrived. When we return to Edinburgh, which I hope to do as our visit was not long enough to explore outside of the city, I would definitely stay at Fiona's place again!
