Catherine was a fab host, her communication prior to our visit was excellent. Catherine met us at the flat, gave us a wee tour and how to work heating etc, there was also folder with lots of information regarding the flat, appliances, places to eat etc. Parking permit provided. The flat was very clean and comfortable. Great linen and towels provided. Basically everything we needed plus extras, a bottle of wine, fresh milk and some chocolate for the kids on arrival. There was also some condiments, spices, pasta etc in the cupboards along with all the kitchen equipment needed to cook if we needed to. There were toys, books and games for the kids which was a great bonus. Some books and DVDs for the grown ups too. Netflix on TV. Flat was situated in a nice quiet area, Tesco just round the corner and a couple of minutes from bus stop. We got the no27 into central Edinburgh which took around 10-15mins, an all day ticket around £3.50 per adult also includes tram travel. We visited the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle and Camera Obscura - this was everyone's highlight. We would definitely stay at Catherine's place again.
