Thank you Calim
Staying in Calim's beautiful apartment made our vacation to Edinburgh! We stayed here for 7 days. His apartment is beautiful and comfortable. We felt so relaxed and at home among all his wonderful furnishings, art books and paintings. Calim has thought of every detail from the practical to luxurious.
The building feels steeped in Scottish history and yet the apartment is light and airy with its banks of tall windows and every fresh modern convenience.
The location is central to everything and we walked everywhere, both in the Old Town and New Town. He also gave us an extensive list of fine restaurants and cafes to try, many of them we did, including Dishoom and Mother India. We would also recommend Colonnade Signet library restaurant, a short walk from the apartment for a special celebratory dinner or afternoon tea... beautiful, especially if you like being surrounded by books. Also wonderful for its delicious food, friendly service and history was the Cafe Royal in New Town. We had a fine Middle Eastern meal at Yeni Meze, an excellent alternative to El Cartel if it is too busy.
Calim was kind and generous with his home and suggestions. We enjoyed meeting him, even in our jet lagged state. We found the Scots to be just like Calim, warm, helpful and friendly. Edinburgh is an amazing city, we loved every minute of it!!
