We had a great experience at Westport. The flat was perfect - I wanted an old town Edinburgh residence and the castle dominated the front-facing windows, lit nightly in various shades and providing an endless source of fascination for my two little boys. Taiba always kept in touch and finding and settling into the flat went seamlessly. It was warm and clean. The beds were really comfortable and we felt very relaxed. The grassmarket with its cafes and tour buses was just a few steps from the flat but we were rarely bothered by noise. A winding staircase led up to the top floor flat but I was expecting that. Some inside information on parking meant that we avoided the NCP overcharging - I was very grateful about that. In fact while I was there I texted a colleague who I knew was looking for a place for New Year. Unfortunately it's already booked (unsurprisingly) but I would recommend it for a city experience and would stay there again (if Taiba was happy). We had a sick child the last night which resulted in me washing some bed sheets. Hopefully Taiba found no other surprises but I let her know and she mentioned about leaving spare bedding for future guests in case it happens again which shows she successfully anticipates and learns from her guests' experiences. Thanks Taiba.
