The dovecot had been on my AirBnB wish list for quite a while, and it far surpassed my expectations. It is nestled in an incredibly beautiful garden in a quiet area of town. We liked that Sarah provided information sheets including the history of the property. The dovecot has modern features such as a luxurious shower, an extremely comfortable bed, and sky lights. Yet, the owner left the stone walls almost exactly as they would have been hundreds of years ago, which is what we loved best. The dovecot is a true oasis. It is in a residential neighborhood, but because of the garden surrounding it no noise from the street could be heard, and we felt like we were far removed from the rest of the world. It is only a 20 minute walk through peaceful parks to the Grassmarket area, but there are restaurants and shops closer than that along the way. We absolutely loved our stay here and hope to stay for longer next time.
