This is one of the best Airbnb that we have stayed at.
First location: The apartment is located about a 8 min walk from Princess Street, so off the busy tourist area but within easy walking distance to the Castle and all the other must see sites. There are a couple of grocery stores (Tesco, Sainsbury) round the corner and even better a Marks and Spencer (great for take out prepared foods and fresh produce) about a 15 min walk away.
Quality of furnishings and amenities: The beds are very comfortable, apartment is on two floors (bedrooms downstairs and kitchen/living room upstairs). There is a working fireplace, really well equipped kitchen, two bathrooms etc. In addition, it's the little extras that Ro has provided that distinguish this Airbnb-candles for the bathtub, abundant toiletries, kitchen supplies far beyond what most Airbnb places provide......and a bottle of wine as a welcome gift!
Lastly check in, Ro was away but arranged for his friend Marc to welcome us, it was a seamless check-in and Marc was a delight with some great tips on things to do.
We loved Edinburgh, its history and how welcoming the people are. We will be back!
