David and Amy's place is the perfect home base for your Edinburgh travels. I've stayed in Edinburgh 3 times at different Airbnb's, and I can say without hesitation that this was the best one. It manages to be in the thick of it all yet hidden from the public. Positioned across from the Writer's museum, every glimpse out of the window became a treat for the eyes.
As far as location goes, I don't believe you could find a better place. Let the castle be your landmark and you'll never lose your way back. If you are concerned with stairs there are a few but not that bad by themselves. 2 small flights of stairs to the main door and then about 3 flights to the room. Elderly or handicapped people be forewarned. Also while the Airbnb is about 20 feet from the royal mile and its tourists and what have you...it's actually very quiet...to the point that we turned on a white noise app to help us sleep.
The apartment itself was very clean and stylish. A rather nice book and DVD collection. Comfortable bed and cozy couch. I do believe I could live there and be quite content is probably the best way to put it.
In conclusion, I would say that if you have the opportunity to book this location that you do so before it gets snatched up, because I'm most certainly coming back to Edinburgh and I'll be looking for David and Amy's place when I do.
