I'm the founder of a tech startup and am always keen to host other entrepreneurs & tech people :)
Great place and great hosts. Will definitely stay again.
September 2011Aisha and Abdel have a lovely apartment and really go to an effort to make their guests feel at home. I would stay with them again in the future with no hesitation. The Barbican is amazing - in design and location. I highly recommend this accommodation!
Aisha & Abdel are great hosts. Very welcoming and friendly. They make you feel at home. Their flat is in a fantastic location, a stone's throw from Museum of London and Barbican station. The room faces inward into a courtyard, is very bright with a wall-to-wall window and is very quiet. You'll sleep well. The apartment complex itself is very interesting architecturally and feels sort of futuristic in the way it's set up.
Had a great time here! Abdel was a great host, even though I surprised him with a slight change of plans at the start :). Bedroom was spacious with a great view of the Barbican, and I would have loved to have stayed longer if circumstances permitted!
Aisha and Abdel were great hosts - friendly, mindful and easy going people. They give you as much space and privacy as you need, but are also friendly and happy to chat if you're so inclined.The room is spacious and clean and both room and bathroom are well separated from the living area by a door, so there is a feeling of privacy. It was a pleasure meeting both of you, thank you!
We had a wonderful weekend staying at Aisha and Abdel's apartment! They are excellent hosts and we enjoyed talking about their new startup. The room was spacious and very quiet with a comfortable bed and plenty of room for our luggage. As it was seperated from the rest of the house by a small hallway it felt very private. The bathroom was clean and the shower was great. As for location, the Barbican is hard to beat. Three tubestations were within easy walking distance as well as... More »
Aisha and Abdel offer a centrally located, tidy and clean flat in the Barbican complex. They were both very friendly hosts who offered recommendations. We enjoyed our stay at their place!
Aisha and her partner were excellent hosts. What's great is that the bedroom is separate to the rest of the house and you might's well have the place to yourself. The shower pressure isn't that great, but Aisha did tell us that before we booked so we knew to expect that. The bed was really comfortable and despite it being so cold outside, the room was supeisingly warm all day long, which was great!!! As for location, we couldn't have picked a better place. It was so central and... More »
Staying at Aisha's was PERFECTION, the location could not be more central to every important landmark worth seeing in London, you can walk anywhere, or take a short tube ride (located yards from the apt)! Her flat layout is aces! You will enjoy virtually complete privacy... My partner and I could not even tell when Aisha was home. Aisha is a delightful conversationalist and excellent coffee and tea maker! We will certainly stay again whenever we're in London. Thank you Aisha! We had the... More »
Aisha and her partner are great hosts and are very interesting and fun to talk with! The apartment is very well taken care of and the hosts made me feel very comfortable during my short stay. I can highly recommend the place!
The area is very central and convenient to get around. The flat was lovely with great views- and not to mention staying at the Barbican estate in itself has been a rare opportunity to experience the authentic architectural ideology of living of the 60s and 70s. Aisha and her partner are excellent hosts. It has been a delightful experience. Highly recommended!
Staying with Aisha was such a pleasure! Her place is very clean, it is a great location, and she was very accommodating in making sure we were comfortable. It was an added treat to find friends in Aisha and her partner.
great hosts! very nice and interesting people, informative and helpful, too!! the flat is super nice, clean and in an outstanding location (the barbican complex is really amazing and kind of out of this world)!! we had the best time! Daniel & Elisa
This week end was very very nice experience. Both hosts made themselves available when I had questions and have been really helpfull both in helping me find my way or showing me places I'd never have visited without them. The flat is at walking distance of many of London places of interest (St Paul Cathedral, Tate Modern, Barbican Center, East End markets etc, nice restaurants, food places all around... It's easy to get (quickly) to the Center and West of London thanks to the tube... More »
I arranged accommodation for my elderly parents with Aisha. They had a lovely time and were looked after very well, with breakfast, long friendly chats, and lots of tea. They asked me to leave a very positive review, and highly recommend Aisha as a host.
Marvelous experience! The flat is great, the area is close enough to walk to anywhere but far enough out to be nice and quiet. More importantly, my new friends were welcoming and gracious hosts. I highly recommend this to anyone headed to Edinburgh or anywhere near there! You'll be happy you went there. John
Aisha and her husband were very friendly and extremely helpful with my stay in Edinburgh! They gave me tips on where to eat and what to see. The location was perfect and the apartment was beautiful! I would definitely stay with them again!
Aisha and Abdel were really helpful and friendly and made us feel very welcome. Their apartment is beautiful; very comfortable, with everything you need. Would thoroughly recommend the experience, and the location is perfect too. Thank you very much.
Aisha was such a lovely host, making our first airbnb experience such a positive one. She was very true to her word in the description of the accommodation and its location. She accommodated all of our needs, was more than happy to help and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this property to anyone. Thanks so much Aisha, we are most appreciative.
Alisha and Abdel's apartment is fantastic - large, clean and well appointed with everthing you might need for your stay. We traveled by car so found it a little difficult parking a distance away from the property but no real issue. As hosts they were welcoming and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed our time there and appreciated the central location. We would highly recommend this property to anyone who wants a fashionable and welcoming place to stay when in Edinburgh.
I couldn't agree more with the previous reviews. Aisha's flat is the perfect choice for your stay in Edinburgh. Extremely clean, spacious, and well situated from the sites, center of the city, night entertainment, and airport bus stop. It has a wonderfully modern kitchen if you choose to cook during your stay and it was more than comfortable for two. I highly recommend staying here during your visit!
Really enjoyed our stay in Edinburgh and a big part of it was the lovely apartment we had based ourselves from. I would happily recommend Aishas place to anyone planning a trip to the city. Its situated within walking distance of everywhere really and was easy to get to from the airport bus. Thank you again for your hospitality!
this flat is absolutely wonderful - all that is advertised and more. we stayed for three nights and were sad to leave not only edinburgh, but this beautiful neighborhood and chic and immaculately clean place to stay. i want to go back to edinburgh as soon as i can and will definitely look here to stay with aisha again.
Fantastic place! The flat was more than we were expecting, the photos show the place as it is, well located, clean, spacious and cosy, in fact we wanted to stay one more night..!! Aisha was very helpful from the beginning up to the end of our stay, thank you again!
Aisha and her husband were SO hospitable! They were incredibly helpful (thanks for the restaurant recommendation, by the way!) and even called to ask if we wanted them to stop by so that they could turn the heat up as it was very cold the night we were in town. The flat was just beautiful, and we were sorry that we couldn't stay longer!
I had a great experience and would love to stay in Aisha's flat again. The flat is gorgeous (stunning to me) and comfortable. The ceilings in the living room and bedroom are super high and have intricate plasterwork. Aisha is a wonderful host. She was flexible and understanding and even met me at the flat early when I got to Edinburgh faster than I anticipated. The route to the city center she pointed out passed by a beautiful church and neat shops and made for a pleasant walk.
Aisha is a great host and her flat is amazing: well equipped, very clean and really spacious. The location is great as well (15/20 minute walk to the centre of town). We really enjoyed our stay and we recommend it 100%.
You can't say enough good things about Aisha and Abdul. They are smart, well traveled, and all around very nice people. On top of that, she is also a host on Airbnb and treated the flat as if it was her own! It's was a pleasure to host them and absolutely recommend them to anyone in the future ! :)
October 2010Excellent guest.
Aisha was a great hostee--they kept my apartment in its pristine condition. Friendly and trustworthy, she and her husband was even helpful to take out trash and were ideal guests. I would gladly host them again.
I have stayed in this lovely Edinburgh flat. It is an impeccably decorated comfortable flat. The large living room window allows a lot of light to come and the architecture is beautiful. The central location makes it a convenient place to stay. Aisha is a gracious host.
