I am planning to rent apartments in Edinburgh through the Edinburgh at Home property management agency. I see the same apartments listed on several other websites. How do I determine if everything is legitimate and I really am working with the legitimate rental people?
Thanks.

How long are staying? Edinburgh at Home is one of several options; others might be cheaper. I have seen EaH used by travel show hosts, so I guess they are dependable.
We rented using Air BnB, and found an amazing flat on York Place. Fantastic neighborhood. Didn’t need a car because buses, trains, and trams close by.
The way we chose our flat was by researching the Reviews on Air BnB. We read critiques as well as positive Reviews. If we had questions we emailed the owners directly before proceeding with booking.
There are alot of options, alot of companies that rent in Scotland. Remember some countries regulate rentals more or less than others, so being cautious is good. Be aware of terms of rental, no matter which company you sign with.
