Joanna and Damian were amazing hosts and there apartment made for fabulous homebase as we explored Edinburgh.
Canadians in London for Christmas to visit family, we planned a short train trip to Edinburgh as some solace with my wife and sons away from family mayhem in London. However, when we announced our plans the rest of the family asked to join us. Joanna and Damian were overly gracious and prepared their space for our suddenly expanded party. They found age appropriate toys for the children, and extra bedding. When we were delayed by train trouble, they bought groceries for us to make breakfast the following morning. Anticipating stores would be closed when we arrived. We were humbled by their graciousness.
The flat was spacious enough to fit both families, and excellently equipped. Great hot water and very comfortable beds. We walked with children (on scooters) to Edinburgh castle and the Christmas fair grounds. Great dining options just on the road in front of the apartment, and small and medium sized grocery stores close at hand. It was easy to make yourself feel at home. We strongly considered trying to extend our stay because of how comfortable we were.
