We spent a week to explore Edinburgh and enjoyed our stay. Ali & Al are exceptionally gracious, attentive, and generous hosts. They made us feel welcome and provided great local tips for sightseeing, restaurants, shopping, etc. The location allows walking to downtown Edinburgh (20-25 minutes), Holyrood Park (5 minutes), many restaurants (1-5 minutes) and shopping (5-10 minutes). Even though it is away from the city center, it is in a busy part of the city, so there is street noise. A good bar / restaurant is next door, but does create some noise at various times of the day because of deliveries, clean up, and garbage pick up. Street parking is available during the week for free 3-4 blocks away, or near the apartment during the weekend. The apartment is part of the main home, but separate with a private entrance off the main entryway. It is two floors, with the kitchen and bathroom on the bottom floor, and the bedroom, dining area, and living room on the top floor. Many extras are provided for cooking and comfort, and everything is clean & tidy. The WiFi had some interruptions, but still manageable. Overall, a good experience.
