We were over in Edinburgh for a wedding anniversary and decided to try an air bnb rather than a hotel. We chose Caroline and Malcom's apartment as it seemed to be in an ideal location for us and looked good.
It is in a modernised traditional Scottish tenament in a very convenient, trendy area. It was really easy to get to as its so close to the Edinburgh trams which are a couple of minutes away at most. We were welcomed to the apartment by Ali, who showed us around it and was very helpful. Its in a very old building with great high ceilings and everything you need. Modern kitchen, living room and bedroom. The bathroom is probably more old fashioned but absolutely fine. The hosts left tea bags and coffee, shower gel etc... which was handy. There is also plenty of crockery and utensils for self catering.
In the living room there's a smart tv with catch up TV and decent wifi. The hosts have also thoughtfully left lots of leaflets and books about Edinburgh and Scotland.
The bed is a double and very comfortable. We were surprised at how quiet it was at night considering how built up the area is. There was even a washing machine in one of the cupboards off the bedroom.
Within steps of the apt there are loads of very trendy cafes and restaurants. Tesco express is also just around the corner. My favourite place for breakfast was a small italian diner on the same side of the road as the vue cinema and the theatre called Taste of Italy. It was super with good service and decent prices
We were in Edinburgh just for a weekend and we didn't have to get one bus or taxi. We were able to walk everywhere we needed to go. We had a really comfortable stay, so we would fully recommend this little apt and the area its in whole heartedly
