It was our first time using AirBnB and with my 90 year old grandma making a trip to Edinburgh for Hogmanay we decided to look for a house or apartment to stay at rather than a hotel so she could feel more at home.
We came across this place and it looked exactly like what we wanted in the area we wanted it.
Organising with Robbie and Jane was easy enough and with the trip booked we looked forward to coming up.
We were warmly greeted by Robbie on arrival who gave us a tour of the place, told us the ins and outs and left us to it.
The only minor negative of the whole thing was the stairs on the way in. The hosts did make us aware of them before we booked and for all of us they were fine but my Grandma did struggle up the 4 flights. This would only be an issue if anyone in your group struggles with walking/ hips/ knees. We were all fine and it didn't affect us but for my 90 year old Grandma it did become a struggle.
They had kindly left us milk, coffee, eggs and some other bits and bobs so we could settle in right away and left us a write up on the kitchen table of eating and drinking places to try as well as things to see and do whilst we were staying over.
The pictures really didn't do the place justice, it was a stunning place. Every room really was outstanding. From the decor and finish down to cleanliness and comfort.
We were all made up and my Grandma was able to relax in comfort.
The location was superb, just tucked off the main road so it was quiet where we were but walk to the top of the street and it had everything going on, bars, restaurants, the theatre, a Tesco and what looked like a new centre with cinema and restaurants inside.
It was a 10 minute walk right in to the centre to the foot of the Royal Mile and princess street and 15 mins or so to the castle.
I always think the best way to review somewhere is whether you would stay there again or not.
So would I stay here again?
Absolutely, in a heartbeat.
In fact if I was going to Edinburgh again I'd be looking to see if this place was available for my stay as a first port of call.
If you have come across this place and are planning a trip to Edinburgh you'd be silly to pass the opportunity to stay here.
