I have just returned from Scherie's place having stayed there with my boyfriend and 4 friends to celebrate Hogmanay. We had a really good time, having celebrated at the street party and going for a lovely meal at Copper Blossom. Scherie's place was a great place to stay for the celebrations. It is a nice walk to the centre, only taking around 18-20 minutes (ish) and a taxi takes around 5 minutes. There is a retail park with a Sainsbury's nearby and a Chinese takeaway on the road of the apartment, both of which are convenient! The space itself is spacious, comfortably sleeping 6 people, and all the beds are very comfy. The bedrooms have black out blinds and double windows which block out all noise and so you can enjoy a good nights sleep! The apartment is very clean with good amenities (note there is no TV).
I never had the pleasure of meeting Scherie as she was in Paris but I met with Reaaz who handed over the keys (three sets) to the apartment. He was a lovely host and left us with shortbread and prosecco - a nice thoughtful touch! He was very flexible with check-in and check-out and responded to communication very quickly and helpfully.
Overall a fantastic find. I would highly recommend this place for a good stay in Edinburgh! Thanks Reaaz and Scherie :)
