My boyfriend and I stayed at the Greenhill Garden studio "gem" over Easter weekend and it was just what we were looking for. The place looks just like it does in the pictures offering a very relaxing and comfortable stay. The studio was very clean and open with a great view of their garden. Even though the place is surrounded by windows and has a skylight window, the hosts have made it very easy to live in by providing blinds for every single window and placing the bed so it's not directly under the skylight. There was no problem at all with privacy or morning sunlight however you probably do not need an alarm as the birds chirp away at the break of dawn which coming from Manhattan in NYC was nice to hear a bit of nature's music :)

The other really really great thing about the stay was the location. At first I had thought we would be a bit far away from the city center but we were amazed as to how close we actually were. You don't feel like you are in the city since their home is tucked away in a residential area right by the park but you are literally right in the city once you walk across the park.

I would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Edinburgh. The hosts were not on location when we arrived and left (which really did make it feel like a home away from home) but there were no issues at all and we had communication through email/phone. It is definitely worth the extra penny for a completely accommodating, beautiful and easy stay!
