We were delighted to find this apartment online, but were nervous about using Airbnb for the first time on our first trip to Edinburgh. Our host made us feel comfortable from the start, by answering our random questions and reserving our dates.
We kept in touch prior to the booking and were able to schedule an arrival time to suit us (when the train arrived!). Our host was even good enough to wait for us when we opted to walk to the apartment in the sunshine and see the city, rather than take a taxi.
The apartment more than lived up to the listing, with facilities that provided everything we needed (including a fantastically powerful shower and comfortable beds!). The condition was well maintained and clean, with cute little touches, such as the complimentary chocolate, heaps of towels and books to peruse.
The apartment is situated a short walk down hill from the city centre, so we felt like locals rather than tourists - perfect! The area had a real community spirit, with independent shops, bars and restaurants.
In short, we were reluctant to leave and needn't look anywhere else for our return trip to the city. Thank you!
