I have nothing but praise for our experience at Dunc & Dee's flat in Edinburgh. Their attention to hosting was clearly evident throughout the flat. We arrived and were greeted by their lovely father. He gave us a tour of the flat and let us know about some delicious places in the area to eat.
Once he left, we took another look around the place and saw all the little touches Dunc and Dee left. There were jelly bean in the living room. The kitchen was stocked with fresh milk, Prosecco, and some cookie Dee make herself! (They were fantastic!) There was a manual to work every appliance in the home as well as helpful things to know. Probably the most thoughtful item was their list of places to eat/drink/visit around the area. They both curated an extensive list of some of the best places to go in the city (which they also frequent). We must say, each place we went to was note worthy.
The flat itself was very obviously cared for. Fun fact: We learned from their dad that the New Town was built in the 1700s! The entire place was extremely clean and all furniture was in good shape. There was plenty of space throughout the flat and large windows too.
My favorite part was the location. New Town is definitely a "Foodie Hub" as Dunc and Dee say. It's also with in walking distance to great shopping, High St., Calton Hill, and the Edinburgh Playhouse. While it's very close to busier areas, the street itself is very quiet.
We had the most amazing visit in Edinburgh and staying at this flat helped create that experience. As hosts Dunc and Dee are the best. They are very good at communicating prior to arrival and during the trip. Their recommendations were perfection including where to look for decent prices train tickets. It was a pleasure to stay at their place and we definitely plan on returning in the future. Thank you again!
