Gillian‘s apartment is lovely and had everything we (family with two children) needed for a short trip to Edinburgh. It is located at the foot of Holyrood Park and King Arthur‘s Seat which make for a great short hike and impressive views of the city. A bus stop in front of the house takes you to the city center in 20 mins and Portobello beach is a short bus ride as well. Gillian is a great host and communication was perfect throughout.
