Anke's home is beautiful, charming and extremely comfortable. We are a family of 4 and we found all (and even more) what we needed for a perfect stay in a typical Edinburgh neighborhood. Anke is a great host and took care of every single detail to make us feel welcome and at home. The bed and the sofa bed are super comfortable, the shower has great water pressure, the home is plenty of daylight and you can tell that Anke is a true artist as the house is nicely furnished and decorated under the principles of beauty and simplicity. White walls, wooden floors, large windows and unique mirrors complete the scene. Location wise, it is convenient but not in the middle of the touristic buzz, so we enjoyed a nice 20 minute walk along the river to get to the Castle and other sites we wanted to explore. We arrived just on my daughter's birthday and Anke had prepared lots of surprises for us to celebrate: chocolate, fruits, fresh flowers, a bottle of Prosecco plus a lovely birthday card and a handmade "Happy Birthday" poster for her. Such a nice and personalized gesture! Anke also provided lots of recommendations and useful tips for us to maximize our stay. Overall a perfect experience that we hope to repeat someday!
