Practically speaking, the flat is a really lovely place to stay in Edinburgh, Jake keeps it spotlessly clean, the room is spacious, the bed is comfortable, the bathroom modern and the area feels safe and secure. Location is ideal, there are regular buses that will take you into the very heart of Edinburgh in about 7 minutes but I would really recommend the c.15 minute walk into the city as you get incredible views across Holyrood Park and the city on the way and some great photo opportunities. It is everything you could want from an Airbnb booking.
What tops all of that though is Jake as a host. He is a very welcoming person who definitely cares that you have a great experience whilst you're staying with him. He showed me around the flat when I arrived and showed me how to use all the amenities and was happy for me to use the kitchen and appliances as I needed. He's a social guy and appears to be genuinely interested in the guests who are staying with him. I was lucky enough to be invited to dinner with him and his friend and we had a very pleasant evening chatting together. Saying all of this, he also made sure I knew that he was happy for me to have my own space and to keep myself to myself if I preferred - but I was more than happy to socialise.
Overall I booked Jake's place on a whim and am so glad that I did, I would definitely recommend it, especially if you are travelling alone. Thanks again Jake!
