Great location, great place, great host!
Alastair met us at the apartment promptly to show us around and offer advice for seeing Edinburgh. He was easy to talk to and very attentive. The place we very nice and gave our family a perfect place to wake up and chill at in the mornings and evenings. It was a short walk to the Royal Mile and nestled amongst several good coffee shops snd restaurants. We walked from the apartment to the peak of Arthur’s Seat for a spectacular view looking back at the town and on to the beach. Highly recommend this place and this host! Thank you Alastair! :)

Thoughtfully appointed
Apartment was very comfortable, and had everything we needed. Neighborhood is busy, and so close/walkable to everything. Great views, good food nearby, helpful dining & atteaction suggestions from Alastair, and bonus points for a really well-chosen shelf of books.
