This was one of the best Airbnb experiences I've had staying in a whole-flat-to-yourself space. Doug's home is truly that: a home that is loved and cared for, with many thoughtful touches that set it far apart from the unloved, bare-bones rental units that landlords are putting on this site to make a buck. The reading lamp by the bed, beautiful guide books, a range of proper kitchen equipment, and hotel-quality towels and bed linen from the Airsorted crew were especially appreciated. We absolutely loved coming "home" at the end of a long day of exploring Edinburgh (in chilly November) to a warm and comfortable flat that has been fully renovated with style and care.
The location is unbeatable, a short walk to everything Edinburgh has to offer. The trade-off for being at the heart of an urban city is some street noise at night, but one learns to travel with ear plugs just in case. It's a light-filled top floor flat in a small private building, so if you can't manage stairs with your luggage you'll best look elsewhere. Fabulous coffee shops, pubs and shopping all outside the door, and it was particularly handy to pop back during the day to drop things off before heading out again to enjoy more of this marvellous city. Highly recommended.
