We couldn’t be more pleased with our stay at Phil’s lovely little flat.
We were met upon arrival by Phil’s mother, who got us set up with keys and a parking pass and told us everything we needed to know about the flat, the area, and public transportation into the city centre. Both she and Phil were easily reachable by WhatsApp, and we really appreciated Phil’s attentiveness to any needs we had.
The flat itself is comfortable, stylish, and beautiful, in a building with key entry for extra security. Its location is also very convenient, with regular buses to the centre leaving/arriving right across the street. There are lots of restaurants in easy walking distance, and we had everything we needed for a fun day in Edinburgh.
We loved staying outside the hustle and bustle of the city but still having quick (~10 mins by bus) access to the centre. One thing to note - buses in Edinburgh require the fare in exact change, unless you pre-purchase tickets through the Transport for Edinburgh m-tickets app. Phil’s mom made sure to explain this to us when we arrived, which was helpful.
We will be staying here again, and we highly recommend it to others!
