Sevi is a wonderful host that is prompt with her communication and incredibly accommodating with her space’s amenities. She allowed my fiancé and I to check in a little early, and check out a little later, based on our leisure and travel plans. Her apartment was homely, welcoming, and ideal for our needs (which involved just having a place to hang our heads for the night, shower, and safely secure our belongings). Our daily hustle and bustle in Edinburgh didn’t afford us the opportunity to get to know Sevi as well as we would have liked, unfortunately, so I’d advise any future travelers considering her space to inquire with her about the cities awesome offerings.
We traveled with two massive, heavy suitcases - something I’d advise against if you can - but the room we stayed in within Sevi’s apartment was just the right size to hold both us and those bags. If you are traveling with heavy bags, just know that a manageable stair climb awaits you to the apartment.
The queen sized bed was clean and comfortable, as was the en suite/private bathroom. Her apartment is in a peaceful pocket of the city that didn’t experience any urban racket or noise, so our wake ups were peaceful and refreshing.
Her apartment is about a 25 - 30 minute walk to Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile, and only a 5 minute walk from Haymarket Station (which is much more convenient to get off at then Edinburgh Waverly Station, all of y’all taking the train in from Inverness or the like).
Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for an affordable, comfortable spot to serve as your home base during Edinburgh adventures!
