I would 110% reccomend this home. it is small, but perfect! It has a private roof top terrace, what appears to be the only on the block! Quiet, clean, safe neighborhood. Located about 20-25 minutes walk away from everything: gardens, royal mile, castle, holyrood/park, waverly station, obscura, shopping, etc.
You can take public transport, but it is about the same time as walking. Lots of hills in Edinburgh, and around the home, so keep that in mind if they might effect you. Approximately 45 minutes from airport, via Airlink bus. (straight shot). Street parking looked to be permit only.
It is perfect for a family of three. (anymore, would be tight, in my opinion) It was my husband and our 14 year old. Easy check-in. Warm comforters on the beds. Comfy pillows. Mattress was a little harder than I prefer, but you can't win them all ;) It has a real 'boutique' hotel feel about it.
This is, easily, one of my favorite stays with AirBnB. Thank you, Simon!
