Martin’s cozy, attractive apartment in Edinburgh was the ideal home base for our Edinburgh visit. Just a few minute’s cab ride from the city’s train station (or a vigorous, hilly walk), the flat is in one of the city’s tiny lanes, in the shadow of Edinburgh’s iconic castle. It’s modern, well-appointed and roomy enough for couples. There’s one short flight of stairs to get to the flat, but it was no big deal.
The location of the flat is a big plus. It’s just a short walk from the Grassmarket, where you can find great restaurants and pubs. And while the area can get a bit rowdy at night, the flat is far enough from the action that noise was never a problem. You’re also within easy reach of the city’s many cultural and artistic sites.
Martin was everything you could ask for in an AirB&B host. In addition to meeting us at the flat and helping us get settled in, he was a font of information and tips about the area, all of which added to our very enjoyable stay in Edinburgh. He also is an excellent communicator who responds quickly to questions and concerns.
