"The Scottish capital is just as much about its craft and its soul as it is about its lodgings. To many, it's the perfect city: full of history, beautiful architecture, great food, friendly locals, and easily walkable. It's worth a few nights, whether as part of a wider Scotland trip (next stop, the Highlands or the Cairngorms) or a weekend city break."
"Staying in any one of the best Airbnbs in Edinburgh means getting familiar with its true character-the stone terraces, the Georgian crescents, the morning tattie scones. From a sweet mews house down a cobbled street in the New Town to a centuries-old dovecot cottage in Brunstfield or a bright Old Town loft with a serious kitchen, these homes channel the charm and beauty that make Edinburgh one of the best cities in the world."
"It doesn't get more central than this charming mews house. Here, you're only a short walk to St Andrews Square and National Galleries Scotland: Portrait, plus Waverley train station is only slightly further. But despite its "smack dab in the middle"-ness, there's a remarkable amount of space: two floors of contemporary interiors, a minimal pistachio-green kitchen (equipped with a proving drawer for avid bakers), and a tub for soaking in after a day out and about."
Edinburgh blends craft and soul with architecture, history, food, friendly locals, and walkable streets, making it ideal for short stays or longer Scottish itineraries. Staying in local Airbnbs reveals the city's character through stone terraces, Georgian crescents, and morning tattie scones. Lodging options include central mews houses near St Andrews Square and Waverley station, a 1600s dovecot cottage in Brunstfield with a loft bedroom and private garden, and bright Old Town lofts with serious kitchens. Many properties combine period charm with modern comforts such as underfloor heating, well-equipped kitchens, private outdoor spaces, and contemporary interiors.
