Alastair
Top floor apartment (there are stairs) with glorious view of Arthur's Seat. The bed configuration is flexible so you can have up to 5 beds in 3 different rooms. We lived there before so the kitchen should have everything you need, if it doesn't we'll buy it for you. The bathroom has bath with a shower inside.
Previously we lived here so know the apartment well. We divide our time between Rio and Edinburgh. Previously hosted on a well know BNB site but became tired of their policies so have now diversified to here. Rating on other site was 4.91 after hosting over 200 groups in the last 5 years. We've hosted so many wonderful guests many who return and love looking after them.
This apartment is in the heart of the University district on the edge of the Old Town and approximately 500m to the Royal Mile.
