We had a great stay at Gerard's place! Communication was excellent, we received a warm greeting and the location was perfect, even considering the disruptions to local transportation. We were able to easily navigate to and from the Fringe festival and several excellent restaurants throughout our stay. There are so many great cafes within walking distance. Gerard has left so much information for guests that you barely need research much about Edinburgh before you go. It's all available in the provided guide. We'd highly consider staying here again and definitely recommend Gerard's place.
