From months, to weeks before our trip to Edinburgh, Martin's communication and personal touch was there to reassure us of timings. We arrived earlier than check in but Martin was able to get the apartment ready for us in time for our arrival into Edinburgh by train due to the previous guests leaving earlier than the usual check in time.
The short walk from the station was a bonus and we didn't realise how close the apartment was to The Royal Mile which was a really nice surprise. We were also able to stroll to Princes Street easily to check out the shops as well as the view up to the Castle. Everything was in easy reach.
The apartment itself was gorgeous and no detail had been missed. The open planned kitchen living area was a lot bigger than what the picture here shows and it definitely was enough room for 4 women and all our suitcases. We especially loved the little window perches with cushions where we spent our tea breaks watching the world pass by outside thanks to the many little shops and cafes that the public visited. The high ceilings were amazing but it still felt cosy, especially with a comfy sofa to sit on which also worked well as a sofa bed. Martin even left us milk, eggs, butter and bread and loads of options of tea, coffee and cereals in the cupboard. Every little touch had been thought of.
Martin himself as a host was incredibly friendly from the word go, and when we met him in person when checking in it was nice chatting to him and finding out about what he did before managing his properties in Edinburgh as well as where to visit. It made us feel very comfortable and at ease and that if there was a problem he would be able to sort it quickly. Luckily there were no problems to worry about!
We will be recommending this apartment to everyone we know and will be visiting Edinburgh again with no hesitations on booking Martin's Edinburgh apartment again!
