Unfortunately, this flat had a leak the day we were meant to stay so we were unable to stay in Old Town. Sonia and Chris were able to move us to another of their properties http://abnb.me/EVmg/plb9FdL45E
All the pictures were very accurate, the place is well decorated and very nice.
Communication with the hosts was easy and their handbook included lots of recommendations on things to do in Edinburgh.
Whilst we were further away from old town than we would have liked, we appreciate that these things happen and thankfully we weren't left without accommodation just an hour before arriving to town.
Only slight drawback is that the apartment has wood floors throughout which, whilst very attractive, were super squeaky. Our daughter is only 4 months old and we found ourselves scared to walk around at night in fear of waking her.
But apart from that, fabulous hosts and a wonderful flat in a great neighbourhood about 20 mins walk to old town.
