We loved staying in this flat! If you like the style shown in the photos, you should love this flat too! It does have a personal style, which the host has put together lovingly. But even though you can see the personal touches, it still feels really welcoming. The host is very friendly and easy to communicate with. We even received a little Scottish 'Welcome' in the form of Tunnock's tea cake each!
The host also provides a helpful folder with some suggestions on where to go eating, where the nearest shops are and lots of other useful information.
We also liked the area- it is definitely off the beaten tourist track, with some residential areas and some more trendy bits. It is close to the water front with interesting cafes and restaurants. Our personal favourite was 'Milk'; a cafe, which is part of an artist community.
If you like walking it is close to the the Leith Water walkway and just off the Hawthornvale 'green route (walking and cycling routes)'- you can follow those green routes all the way to the city centre.
We enjoyed the absence of a TV, but if that is a travel essential for you, maybe this one isn't for you!
Depending on the hosts itinerary you may be able to leave your bags a bit earlier...
