I loved this place! It had bags of character, it was like staying at your Scottish granny's place. The Georgian listed building was beautiful, on top of Calton Hill. Perched up there we felt far from the bustle of the city, yet it was convenient for a (paying) carpark, and an easy walk to all the sights. There was plenty of room for our family of 4. It felt cosy and relaxing. We didn't use the kitchen but I loved the old-fashioned Rayburn cooker, original sash windows and internal wooden shutters, large living room for relaxing after sightseeing, books and games...
Literally a few minutes walk from the National Monument- we went up there to watch the sunset - amazing 360 degree views over Edinburgh and the coast.
Communication with Uwe the host was efficient.
I would definitely stay here again.
However it is perhaps not for everyone - although clean and well-kept, it is quite old and quirky, furniture old fashioned and could maybe do with a lick of paint and some new bedding. However one of the reasons I like Air BnB is to be able to stay in authentic, interesting, characterful places like this. If I wanted sleek, uniform modernity I'd have booked 3 rooms at the Premier Inn.
