John's house is beautiful. The rooms were spacious and decorated very well. Really fitting to an image of Edinburgh. The stairwell is grand and lit very well by a beautiful atrium that stretches from ground floor to top, which is magnificent. The kitchen was well equipped- we were able to make drinks, store and heat up food. The bedrooms were spacious and bright. The apartment did not come equipped with towels, or shower toiletries however.
Location-wise, the house is located very well and close to city center. The area is residential, very safe, and it took us less than ten minutes to walk into New Town. From there everything else is very reachable. We travelled the city by foot, as everything is quite concentrated- no need for public transport.
We were not able to meet John himself but he gave very clear and detailed instructions for our check-in and check-out, and listed other amenities and parking facility information for us too. He was communicative and I would say he is very reliable as a host. The housekeeper stays downstairs in a seperate apartment and was always around. She was extremely helpful and friendly. Thank you so much!
If I were to stay in Edinburgh again with a large group, I would definitely love to stay here again, and would recommend this apartment to others too.
