As I have been to Edinburgh many times before and also lived there for a year, I know the city well and tried to find a place which makes us feel at home in a nice area which is not touristy but close to all the tourist attractions. The flat was exactly what we were looking for and a perfect home base for us while we spend 6 days in Edinburgh! It is beautifully arranged with lots of details, very well equipped and perfectly located. The kitchen has everything one needs for cooking, there are loads of information about Edinburgh and the area in books, easy food shopping (whole-food store around the corner), nice little restaurants just opposite of the house. The area is interesting with its cafes, restaurants, art galleries and arty shops. It is in walking distance to the main sightings in the centre and also to the shopping area. Thanks to the windy weather we caught a cold and even while being a bit sick we still felt at home, having a hot whirlpool-bath and chilling on the sofa at night. Charlotte has got a beautiful place that she rents out and is totally welcoming and helpful! So everything gave us the feeling of "being at home". We surely will be back for our next stay!
