Jer's home is an ideal base from which to see Edinburgh and surrounding areas. The shops, cafes and restaurants of trendy Stockbridge are only a short walk away, as are the Botanical Gardens, and it is an easy 15 minute walk to the centre of Edinburgh. The neighbourhood is quiet and safe and despite being a garden flat (in a gorgeous Georgian building at the end of what is essentially a square/cul de sac) you don't hear any noise from the flat above you. Jer’s flat is spotlessly clean and warm, with a nice modern bathroom and kitchen. The bedroom is spacious with plenty of storage space including a walk in closet, desk, chairs and tv. Jer was very welcoming and helpful, explaining local points of interest and recommended some places to eat – and he kindly showed me a spot where I could leave my car safely all week without requiring a parking permit or having to pay a parking meter, which was a huge bonus as having a car can be quite a handicap in Edinburgh! I felt extremely relaxed and comfortable during my stay and would most definitely recommend.
