This is an exceptionally attractive property offered by a most genial host. It may have been our favorite of the seven airbnb locations we visited in the UK. The photos depict the apartment well enough but truly don't really do it justice. It is spacious and very comfortable.

Jane describes it as "lower ground," while in the States I suppose we would simply call it a basement. That is not to disparage it in anyway, because it really doesn't feel subterranean. Full-length windows, modern lighting and the heated flooring all contribute to make it most comfortable, even downright homey.

Jane herself went a long way to make me and my two boys feel welcome...from the run up to our stay and throughout the weekend in Edinburgh. She was always available but not the least bit obtrusive.The bottle of Prosecco chilling in the ample 'fridge punctuated the many fine touches in the brilliant modern kitchen.

The house is situated in a lovely neighborhood among many conventional B&B's, a comfortable distance from the Royal Mile and all the de rigueur tourist sites.
