This was a delightful place to stay for my first visit to Edinburgh. David has clearly put a lot of effort into being an excellent host.
The flat is located very centrally, minutes from various restaurants but also a supermarket. You really can see Edinburgh castle looking out the window. You can hear a little traffic with the windows open in the day time, but it is quiet at night especially with the windows closed. There was a little noise from other flats in the complex. It’s not far from the station but bear in mind that Edinburgh is very hilly!
Two things stood out about the flat itself. First, it was clean and well decorated - peaceful cool grey colour scheme, comfortable bed, sofa, well equipped kitchen for cooking, entertainment system, board games, books. Second, it has the little touches that go above and beyond the basics and make such a difference - USB chargers, good internet (tested thoroughly with long vidéoconférences!), guide books, multiple sturdy hooks in the entry and bathroom, very cool push/pull accordion blinds, fresh milk and bread, chocolate covered marshmallows!
David generously allowed me to check in early and is an excellent communicator. I loved the clear directions and keyless entry. There are only three steps from the complex entry to the door. (Nothing will save you from steps in the city though!)
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. We will definitely visit again.
