Pros
-Location: Right by Arthur's Seat and not too far from the Royal Mile, this property is great for those who want a lovely hike in the morning before walking into the city for the day. Supermarket about 7 minutes away on foot. We never had to use public transportation, but did see some bus stops in the neighborhood as well.
-Good communication with host: The host was proactive in communicating with us to set up check-in, which really helped when I was juggling a lot of other things. He met us in person to show us around the property, and was easy to reach on the phone when needed.
-Accurate listing: The property was pretty much just as it looks on Airbnb. Everyone in our party of five found the beds reasonably comfortable, and the place was clean and spacious. No surprises.
-Parking: Parking was incredibly easy, even compared to other Airbnb properties with free parking. You have an assigned parking space right in front of the building, and no parallel parking is required. Since we were a large group going on a long road trip, I had to drive a big SUV and had been having a miserable time with parking other places. This was a nice respite.
Cons
-Some quirky fixtures: The boiler (which controls heating and hot water) was a bit confusing, so at times we were colder than we would have liked. People from the UK may be more familiar with the system than we were, however, and Duncan was helpful whenever we approached him with an issue.
Final verdict: We would stay here again. Thanks for a nice stay, Duncan!
