Okay, this place is amazing - stylish, well equipped and warm and cosy. Just stay here. That's really all I can say upfront. Easily one of the best airbnbs I have stayed in 2 years of traveling the world (non-stop).
But the devil is the detail here and it's worth a mention about these things because I find these are the things that make the difference when deciding to rent a place:
- the beds are PHENOMENAL (this is a rarity and I savoured it)
- Blair is so communicative, so helpful and generous with his time
- it's super convenient to both parts of E'burgh, you are literally in the middle of most things you would want to see
- you're above an awesome coffee shop and yoga studio and Sainburys is across the road - convenience plus
- it's beautifully appointed and there are so many thoughtful touches that make it special (books to read, canvas bags for shopping, umbrellas)
- it's super warm and has a beautiful relaxed and chill vibe - for interiors fans, this is the "business" at a fabulous price.
So yeah, just stay, I will come back here whenever I come to Edinburgh.
