Property Title • Dec 11 - Dec 14, 2025
Hi Aimee, Thank you for your booking. I'm looking forward to hosting you 😊 I've put quite a bit of effort into making my place nice for AirBnB so please look after it 🙏🏼 The earliest check in is 3pm. If you could let me know when you plan to check in that would be great. In exceptional circumstances I can sometimes offer early checkin. Here's some information that will help you get around the flat. Most of these are straightforward, the general rule of thumb is that I would expect you to treat my flat as you would your own: take the shoes off when in the flat, don’t smoke inside the flat, avoid playing loud music after 10pm etc... Note I live in the place most of the time, so it will have some of my belongings in, but there is wardrobe space in both rooms. 🚪Doors There is a lockbox, details will be provided prior to your stay. Please don't forgot to return them to the key safe at the end of your stay! 🔑 🌐 WiFi The WiFi network is called SmokeyWhiskey and the password is peatmonster1 🚘 Parking There is paid parking in a private card park on Carlton Road, right next to my flat. Let me know in advance if you want to make use of this so I can send you full details. You will be fully reimbursed for the parking. But ask about where to park. 🌡Heating You can control the heating using the Hive thermostat which is in the living room on the wall. There is a boost button on the top of it, or you can turn the dial. 🎵 Music There are Sonos speakers in the kitchen. Connect to the WiFi and cast from Spotify or Apply music to "Kitchen". ☕️ Coffee & Food Coffee, tea, as well as mugs, can be found in the cupboards in the kitchen. Please feel free to make use of the spices and condiments. Any alcohol in the fridge is fair game 🍸 🪣 Appliances In the kitchen, you have an oven, stove, microwave, fridge, dishwasher & toaster, which are all easy to use. 📽 TV There is a Samsung Smart TV with Netflix & Prime Video - use the remote on the coffee table. Let me know if you need any help. 🚮 Waste and Recycling: The black bin in the kitchen is refuse, the other one is recycling. Glass should not be put in the recycling - leave that separately. If you need to take rubbish out then the bins are on Carlton Road, just before the big arch (turn right and right again when you come out the building). 🐶🐱 Pets Please let me know if you wish to bring a pet. Pets are not allowed to be on the sofa or the beds, there will be additional cleaning charges for pets hairs on bed linen or the soft furnishings. 📍The full address is Flat 11, 35 Leith Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3AT. The flat is on the 3rd floor. And don't be confused about the first door you come to which says "11 & 12" - it's not locked, go straight through and you'll see the entrance to flat 11. 🧡 Finally, This is my home when I’m not travelling, so I’ve tried to make it cosy and welcoming for you too. If anything feels off or could be improved, even something small, just let me know — I’ll do my best to sort it out. And if you’re happy, a little 5★ love always means a lot!😊
Oct 09, 2025 08:11 AMHola, Mark. ¿Cómo estás? Voy a visitar Edimburgo con mi hija y mi esposo este jueves y nos hospedaremos en tu alojamiento. Nuestro vuelo aterriza a las 2:00 p. m. ¿Sería posible hacer el check-in a las 2:30 p. m., ya que tendremos equipaje con nosotros? Estábamos planeando tomar el tranvía, ¿sabes cuál sería tu parada de tranvía más cercana? En cuanto a la salida, nuestro vuelo de regreso no es hasta las 3:00 p. m. ¿Sería posible salir después de la hora establecida a las 12:30/1:00 p. m. o, si no, hay algún lugar donde podamos dejar nuestro equipaje para que no tengamos que llevarlo con nosotros? ¡Cualquier recomendación que tengas en términos de pubs, lugares para comer, compañías de taxis, etc. sería muy apreciada! Hemos reservado entradas para las iluminaciones del castillo el viernes por la noche y las luces de los jardines botánicos el sábado por la noche. ¡Esperemos que el clima sea amable con nosotros! Gracias de antemano, Aimee x
Dec 07, 2025 07:36 PMHi Aimee, Thanks for all the details ✨️ December is full booked so, there are guests chekin out the same day that you arrive but I will speak with the cleaners to see if they can have the apartment ready by 2:30 that day 🤞
Dec 08, 2025 03:32 AMRegarding late checkout. Unfortunately there are new guests checking in... However, There is a service called Luggage Hero. It's like Airbnb for bags - shops will keep hold of your bags for a small fee. There's one of Broughton Street which is very close to my flat and there are a number of nice cafes on that road. Here's the link: (https://app.luggagehero.com/shop-details/629604dac16ad871b03f737d;bags=1;from=202306131200;to=202306131300;source=app) Or, there is a left luggage service at the train station. If you go into the Carlton Street entrance to the station then it's opposite M&S, and the Carlton Street entrance has a lift which is helpful if you've got a lot of luggage. I hope this helps! 🙏☺️
Dec 08, 2025 03:32 AMRegarding restaurants, I personally really like Pickles on Broughton Street. It's a little wine bar that does charcuterie boards and such like in a relaxed atmosphere. If you're looking for something a little more substantial then head towards St Andrews Square (<5min walk) on your way there there there's a place called Tattu (https://maps.app.goo.gl/Vtx7FN3w1YCwq3SJ7) whcuh does modern Chinese food in a beautiful setting. On St Andrew's Square you have a variety of restaurants. Dishoom does great south Indian food. And right next to there is Gaucho who do very nice steaks (although a little pricy). One of my favourite places currently is Mowgli Street Food which just a street over from Saint Andrews Square (https://maps.app.goo.gl/UKhczFz492q5hM9A9)
Dec 08, 2025 03:33 AMRegarding getting around. Edinburgh city centre isn't huge and it's very beautiful, so if its nice weather then it's lovely to walk around. However, if you do want to use public transport then I'd highly recommend downloading loading an app called CityMapper - it's the most accurate and upto date. The post code of my flat is EH1 3AT.
Dec 08, 2025 03:33 AM¡Muchas gracias por todas tus sugerencias! ¡Pensé que había respondido! Genial. ¿Habrá gel de ducha disponible o tendré que llevar un poco? ¿Hay alguna tienda de la esquina o tienda de conveniencia cerca? ¡Gracias de nuevo! X
Dec 09, 2025 07:22 PMHi Aimee, Yes, we provide gel shower and shampoo. The building is next to a shop for basic groceries and you have a Tesco supermarket just 5min walking away 😊
Dec 10, 2025 04:45 AMSo regarding checkin for tomorrow - there is a lockbox on the wooden doorframe of 35 Leith Street - it is the very top one. The code is 2988. The key can be a bit of a fiddle - but it does work, promise 🙏 you basically have to pull the key half out of the lock for it to turn, the key turns to the right (clockwise)... The entrance to the building is next to a restaurant called Maki & Ramen. Flat 11 is on the 3rd floor (don't be confused by the internal door which says 11 & 12 that appears to have a lock on it - it doesn't). Please arrive after the 3pm checkin time unless we have agreed otherwise. Let me know if you have any issues 😊 P.S you should also get this info on the day of checkin through the airbnb app with photos to help guide you. I'm just putting it here so you've got the code (2988) in two places 👍🏼
Dec 10, 2025 10:00 AM¡Genial, gracias! ¿Hay paraguas para usar en el piso o necesitamos traerlos? ¡Hemos reservado iluminaciones de jardines botánicos para el sábado por la noche, pero el pronóstico no se ve muy bien! X
Dec 10, 2025 12:57 PMHola Aimee, Disculpas la demora. Hermoso plan! El parque botánico es hermoso. Suelo tener paraguas disponibles pero el equipo de limpieza me comento hace unos días que faltan algunas cosas.. Veré si puedo comprar uno online para que les llegue a tiempo por si las dudas es una de las cosas que están faltando 😊
Dec 10, 2025 11:19 PM¡Muchas gracias!
Dec 11, 2025 09:05 AMIt is a pleasure! An umbrella will be arriving tomorrow by amazon 😊
Dec 11, 2025 10:51 AMExcelente. Estaré en el apartamento alrededor de las 2:30, ¿está bien entrar entonces?
Dec 11, 2025 02:04 PMHi Aimee, Sorry for the delay, The flat should be ready for you now ✨️😊
Dec 11, 2025 02:49 PMI know you've just checked in, but just a quick note to say that when you do checkout I need you to put the keys back in the lockbox where you found them. It's the very top one and the code is 2988. Also, Just a quick note to help you enjoy the flat comfortably. As the building is historic and the bathroom design is being updated little by little, please make sure to keep the shower head pointing downwards (not towards the curtain) and use moderate water pressure rather than the maximum setting. This small tip really helps keep everything working well and makes your stay more pleasant. Thank you so much! 🙏🏼😊
Dec 11, 2025 07:00 PMHi Aimee, hope you've settled in nicely. Let me know if you need anything or if anything isn't upto scratch. If anything isn't 5* worthy I'd much prefer if you communicate with me and I can try and make it right 🙏🏻
Dec 12, 2025 09:00 AMHola, Mark, todo bien, aunque la luz fuera de la puerta del piso no parece funcionar, lo que dificulta meter la llave en la puerta. ¿No estoy seguro de si lo sabías?
Dec 12, 2025 10:31 AMDisculpas por la demora Aimee. Muchas gracias por avisarme! Huespedes anteriores me lo comentaron para que hable con la administración del edificio pero veo que no se resolvió. Estaré llamando a un profesional yo mismo para solucionarlo. Gracias 🙏
Dec 12, 2025 08:34 PMI hope you've had a really lovely stay! Just a quick reminder to put the keys back in the lockbox when you checkout at 11am. It's the very top one and the code is 2988. Thanks! 🙏🏼
Dec 14, 2025 09:00 AMGracias Mark, tuvimos una gran estadía y nos estamos preparando para salir ahora. Dejé el paraguas que compraste en el perchero, ¡gracias por eso! Lo necesitábamos ayer. Lamentablemente, nuestro viaje al espectáculo de luces de los jardines botánicos fue cancelado debido al viento, lo que fue una pena. Me temo que anoche tiramos un vaso de Prosecco en la cocina y se rompió. Todo está limpio y en la papelera, pero entiendo si quieres facturarme por ello. Lo siento. Dejé toallas usadas en la ducha y botellas junto al cubo de la cocina, ya que no estaba seguro de dónde ponerlas. ¡Gracias por una gran estadía!
Dec 14, 2025 10:42 AMAh, y he dejado leche sin abrir y un poco de mantequilla en la nevera para que los próximos huéspedes la usen.
Dec 14, 2025 10:43 AMHi Aimee, Thank you for all the details 🙏✨️ Don't worry about the glass, these things happen. Thank you for getting everything organized. You're always welcome!😊 I hope you have a safe journey back.
