Arvin was a fabulous host during our stay. The place is centrally located allowing for walking to a lot of main attractions including the Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile and numerous restaurants. If you want a true city life experience while in Edinburgh, stay here.
Arvin was flexible with us during check-in. Our luggage did not arrive with us and we were later checking in than we had anticipated. He provided detailed instructions on how to find the location as we walked there from the bus drop off location.
The room is quaint and we slept well in the bed. Coffee and tea provided and the shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. We were able to leave our bags at the apartment all day, even after check out time, while exploring what the city had to offer.
We stayed at this place during a festival so note there is a lot of city noise, even though out the evening/night. Leaving windows open is common for cooling the rooms and airflow, and we are used to the noise being from a large city, but if looking for a quieter night, maybe seek out another location. Additionally, there is a spiral staircase up to Arvin’s room. You’ll have to carry all luggage up and down (one benefit of lost luggage for us is we didn’t have to. ;)).
Overall fabulous stay and we were able to see so much on our bucket list with this perfectly located place with a kind host.
