Our stay was initially prompted by a desire to visit the Royal Yacht Britannia, so the location of Samir's apartment was ideal. Only a ten minute walk from the Yacht and on a bus route to Edinburgh city centre. Samir was an excellent host; he answered all our queries and responded quickly to the texts we sent. The access instructions were clear (albeit we did have to search for the entrance) and Samir was there to greet us at the agreed time. He gave us a thorough briefing on the facilities in the apartment and a good guide to local amenities and attractions. He also stressed that if we had any queries we should contact him and he would get back to us as soon as he could. It is a credit to his briefing that we had no need to do this. One small point to consider for future guests might be the production of a Guest book with instructions, points of interest and recommendations for eating out etc. We had a plan for our visit so it wasn't an issue but for anyone on a first visit to Edinburgh it might be useful.
Would we recommend Samir's apartment. As a base for a visit it was perfect for us. If you're seeking five star accommodation and luxurious fittings, perhaps not but it had everything we needed and a pleasant and responsive host.
