Summary:
Spacious, well furnished, clean, beautifully decorated. It's clear the that host put a lot of love into preparing this flat for guests. One of the best Airbnbs I've ever stayed in.
Location:
Great location. The flat is about a 12 minute walk from Edinburgh train station. It is also close to many of the popular sites: Edinburgh Castle, Royal Mile, Holyroodhouse Palace, National Museum of Scotland, Holyrood Park. The flat is on one of the upper floors of a tall apartment complex.
Amenities:
There are two bedrooms, one with a Queen bed and the other with 2 twin beds. The flat is very well appointed, with a comfortable sofa, modern furniture, washing machine and dryer for cloths, fully equipped kitchen, dish washer, nice bathroom. The beds are all very comfortable. The sheets and towels provided are clean and feels new. We particularly enjoyed the Edinburgh themed wall art, pamphlets about sites around Edinburgh, and even a Edinburgh themed Monopoly game. That was a nice touch.
Cleanliness:
The flat was spotless, and cleaning supplies are also provided. Absolutely no complaints.
Communication:
Caroline was a great host and responds very quickly. She made instruction documents with photos for how to get into the flat and how to use various appliances in the flat. All the instructions were easy to follow.
Overall:
I spent a week travelling in Scotland. I stayed in 4 star hotels in Inverness and Glasgow, boutique bed-and-breakfasts in the highlands, and a castle near Aberdeen. Compared to all of those, this Airbnb was the best experience. If I could give this 6 stars I would.
