We loved every minute of our stay at Chris and Robyn's place! The open-plan kitchen and living/dining space packs a lot of charm and has lots of light coming in. It was warm and sunny during our trip, so we also greatly enjoyed the little garden giving on a cute and quiet alley.
You'd never think you're only steps away from the Haymarket transit hub, which allows you to avoid the hustle and bustle of Waverley station whether you travel into Edinburgh by train or plane (take the tram and get off at Haymarket). The West End area also has plenty of cafes, pubs, restaurants etc. and it's only a 10-minute tram ride to the city centre. For us, this was ideal, as the old town gets very busy with tourists, and we were very happy to take a break from the crowds after a day of sightseeing, and enjoy a more "local" vibe.
It was easy to meet with Robyn to get the keys and she was always quick to respond to chat before and during our stay. Overall, a flawless experience :) We'd stay at Chris and Robyn's again in a heartbeat!
