My husband and I were staying at Ross and Hayley’s apartment for our honeymoon and we were so happy we chose their apartment! First and foremost, Ross and Hayley are super kind, very communicative, and great hosts. The little additional touches in the apartment (i.e. cookies, some whiskey, Prosecco, and a cute celebration balloon) were very thoughtful and made our stay feel special. Ross and Hayley also spent additional time putting together a list of restaurants, coffee shops, things to see, whiskey tastings etc. to match what some of our interests were. We have stayed at many Airbnb’s and can confidently say that Ross and Hayley went above and beyond.
The apartment itself is wonderful! It is very convenient, cost, super spacious for two people (although to be fair I think 4 ppl could stay as well), extremely clean, and well stocked. The kitchen had everything you would need for some light cooking, the bathroom was very clean and modern, and the bedroom was a very good size with lots of room to unpack your suitcase belongings. The bed was large and very comfortable and there were plenty of cozy blankets which we really appreciated since we were in Edinburgh during a colder month. We loved that they had a chromecast available for our use and we did make good use of it when we were home in between sight seeing. Heating worked great. Internet was fast and consistent. We also appreciated how easy the check in/check out process was!
As mentioned, the location is very very convenient. Pretty much down the street from the Waverley train station (less than a 5 min walk). This was great for us as we were coming to Edinburgh from visiting London first. Additionally, we could get to the castle, and other points of interest, in less than 15 min of walking. For those who are very sensitive/light sleepers or who are not used to noisy cities, the area can be a bit noisy at times. We did not find it bothersome as we come from a large city ourselves and are very used to city noise. We did not feel that this impacted our stay and Ross and Hayley did also provide us with earplugs in the event that we would need to use (they really do think of everything!).
Overall, we would highly recommend Ross and Hayley’s apartment for travelers looking to spend time in Edinburgh. Ross and Hayley were A+ hosts and we would certainly stay with them again!
