Gill's place was absolutely perfect for our family trip to Edinburgh. It was very clean and spacious. The kitchen and dining area were great for when we chose to eat in, and the two full baths were a necessity for our group! The location also couldn't be beat - far enough away from touristy areas and loud bars/restaurants, but very walkable to the center of town for sightseeing. Cabs also came very quickly when needed. I highly recommend Gill's place, and we hope to stay here again in the future!
