Of all the places I've stayed and people I've met through Airbnb, Tessa and her apartment stand out above the rest. Kind and welcoming from the very start, she invited my husband and I to an art gallery with her and her friends within minutes of arrival. We ended up making several new friends during the evening and it was a great introduction to Edinburgh and the hospitality of the people who call it home.
Her apartment is really incredible. She has put a lot of effort into both remodeling and decorating the space so that it's very comfortable and inviting to guests. She is an artist, and her design sense is apparent in every detail of her place.
All in all, I would recommend anyone to stay with Tessa on their visit to Edinburgh, particularly if you want to make a new friend and get to know the local way of life.
