Congratulations! You're now staying in a bonafide, GENUINE hidden gem of Edinburgh.
In part this is down to Andrew, your host for your visit. He is a really lovely guy who has a wealth of information and tips regarding Edinburgh, whether you're a seasoned Edinburgh veteran like myself, or a first time traveller to the Scottish capital.
...and to make things even better, he's even made a website you can access on the go with these recommendations.
The property itself, I mean genuinely where do you start on positive things to talk about?!
The location is right near the top of Cockburn St. Which is seriously as close to the action as you could possibly ever get (closer than Radisson Blu!). Wake up, walk out the door and you're now there... on the mile.
The bed is really, really comfy. As in, you'll sleep like a baby comfy. Soft mattress and soft pillows all round, meaning you'll get that good rest from, let's be honest, all the walking you're now going to do.
The facilities are everything you're going to need without the bells and whistles, because again, why fork out for an Apart-Hotel with all the unnecessary extras when you'll probably be dining in one of the many fantastic restaurants Edinburgh has to offer. Believe me, we've done it before and we never used the kitchen.
One of the best things about staying there is also the history. So, if you go on a tour, they'll explain about the local archetecture, how and why the buildings got so tall in Edinburgh. But, unless you book this Airbnb, you won't actually get to live it, with a local, with a locals recommendations. Why hear and read about it when you can live it for a weekend or week away in the greatest city on earth
