I would definitely recommend a stay at Dave's place!
The flat was so homely and cosy and didn't just feel like a bare generic place you could find anywhere!
Dave was great at messaging quickly and responding to all my questions right from the moment of booking until check out today. He gave us super simple instructions on how to check in and out, and has lots of guides and suggestions for great places in Edinburgh.
There were some lovely little touches like fesh flowers and Tunnocks caramel wafers (a Scottish delicacy!) that Dave left for us, teas and coffees, spices and basics condiments. The flat is fully self catering so you can make anything you fancy. There is a Lidl and Tesco each within a few minutes walk, along with a few nice cafes, pubs, shops etc. a few minutes away.
We loved the wonderful artwork, pictures and nick nacks in the flat, which added to the homely feeling. The comfy sofa in the living room.was perfect for lounging on and the cute window seat was great to sit and watch people go by.
The bed was comfy and there is plenty of space to keep your things whilst you stay. We felt really secure in the flat and it was really nice and quiet at night.
Location wise, the flat is great, there is an easy 15/20 minute walk to the centre and busses stop nearby. If you want to feel like you're actually a resident as opposed to a tourist, and escape the main streets then this flat is perfect for that!
Thanks Dave, and we will definitely look to see if the place is available next time we come and visit!
