We stayed at Sheena and Lincoln’s home during a short trip to the Edinburgh festival. We were a family group ranging in age from 13-55, and all of us loved being in their large and welcoming flat. Spread over two floors this commodious Marchmont home was immaculately clean and had an upbeat and friendly vibe - beautifully decorated and with a large light basement kitchen with enough plates/cutlery for our large group ... there was also an adjoining TV room with a big squidgy sofa for late night relaxing. All good for a big family group. Comfy beds, good linen and two clean bathrooms. Easy to feel at home - important during a short stay. Rooms had character, but were clutter-free.
We really enjoyed the surrounding area - the Marchmont cafes and shops- and it was a 15-20 min walk to the main venues of the Fringe. What we lost in proximity we gained in quiet nights and a bit of green calm after the hustle and bustle of the festival crowds.The walk back to the flat - either through the Meadows or along the Meadows - was a very pleasant one. We even had sun!
Sheena and Lincoln were always quick to respond to queries, both before and during our visit, and gave us helpful local tips - esp re restaurants! We’ll be back to try more! Instructions for the house were clear without being bossy.
All in all - great hosts and a great flat! Made for a lovely holiday xx
