We LOVED our stay here. The pictures show you the view, so you certainly won’t need convincing of the spectacular location and scenery this flat comes with.
Gill was a great host — very kind, accommodating, and an excellent communicator. We were really pleased whenever we interacted with her.
The flat is very comfortable and well-kitted out. We have food allergies, so we tend to cook in more than we eat out and it’s the first place I remember staying and NOT thinking, “they really need a ___ in the kitchen.” It’s surprisingly spacious for a flat in the city — especially the en suite master bedroom.
The reclining sofa/ loveseat was a wonderful place to enjoy a coffee and watch the sunlight change the colours of the sky and the Queen’s park beyond. What a luxury to be so close to the park! It was so nice to walk through the park, past the palace, and up the Royal Mile to grab some food or see the tourist sites. If you’re not familiar, it’s a long walk uphill, so not ideal for those with mobility challenges, BUT it’s so easy to get a taxi/ Uber from the flat, and having the lift and car parking below is another fabulous luxury in the city.
Oh! And the balcony is private! I didn’t realise that from the listing, but what a treat! We didn’t use it enough because of the cold rain, so we’ll unfortunately just have to come back and use it properly next time. ;-)
Hmmmmm… I’ve just realised this might make it hard for us to book here next time we come into Edinburgh… ah well, it can’t be helped. This place is amazing!! We’ve traveled around the world staying in Airbnbs for years , but this place is truly one in a million. Hands down the best place we’ve ever stayed in Edinburgh (and we have family there so we visit a lot!)!
