Calim was a great host providing additional information such as his favourite restaurants, etc when we booked. Communication was excellent. The check in and out process was smooth and simple.

The apartment is in a superb location (2 minutes walk from the castle) and is stunning. The furniture is an eclectic mix that works really well.

Sleeping in the bed was an experience! The bed is very comfortable and bedding fresh and clean.

It is a book readers paradise. Calim provides hundreds of CDs, DAB radio, free internet and an honesty bar! On arrival we had fresh bread, milk and much more, plus there are a multitude of teas to choose from. The kitchen is really well equipped, however we ate out.

We only stayed for one night, but wished we could have stayed longer. We highly recommend Calim's apartment.

If you are not familiar with Edinburgh, we suggest you take the bus tour, but take the green bus that has a real person commentating rather than the others. The bus stop is opposite the apartment and usually has representatives from the company selling tickets (currently £15 each). You can hop on and off and the ticket is valid for 24 hours.

The castle is a must as is climbing the 287 steps of Scotts Monument and paying a fiver for the privilege.

If you fly into Edinburgh, the tram is excellent value and goes from the Airport to St Andrews Square. It is a 10 minute (uphill) walk to the apartment that will get the heart rate going. Consider it training for the spiral stairs that lead you to Calim's fabulous apartment.

Thanks for sharing your lovely home Calim.
