My sister & I were visiting Edinburgh for the first time as tourists from Toronto. Maggie's place is located in a central & busy part of Edinburgh. It's within walking distance to all hot spots - like the Edinburgh Castle, Hollyrood Palace, Arthur's Seat, University of Edinburgh, Waverly Station, Royal Mile & Princes Street. This pretty much sums up the entire tourist attractions in the city so Maggie's place is ideal!
The apartment & keys were a tiny bit tricky to locate initially but after re-reading Maggie's email instructions, we found them after a few minutes! The flat was clean, quaint & comfy. We slept like babies after each day of walking - thanks to the comfy bed & cosy comforter! The kitchen was well equipped but we barely used it as the neighbourhood had tons of small mom & pop restaurants/cafes which we wanted to try out.
On day 1 of our stay, the bathroom shower had an issue where the hot water & cold water would come in alternate bursts but Maggie was quick to respond & she was sweet enough to come over the next morning & help me keep the shower in the right setting. After that, it was perfect!
I'm so glad we had Maggie as our host - she was sweet, kind, helpful, easily contactable, full of information and an unassuming person.
Thanks for a wonderful stay Maggie! We can't wait to be back & spend some more days on West Bow :-)
