A group of nine friends (in our 40s) staying at Gayfield Square as a base for a weekend in Edinburgh. Excellent location: approx 15 mins walk from Waverley; Tesco is very handy just round the corner on the main road; Princess Street easy access, etc. All locations in the city within walking distance.
Philippa, the host, was extremely accomodating when I needed to access the apartment a little earlier - and also when there was some confusion about where to leave the key. Sorry, Philippa! Tip - it goes back in the key safe outside the front of the building at the end of your stay. Maybe a couple of sets would be handy for bigger groups staying especially if, like us, it is matter of herding cats trying to know where everyone is!
Overall a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Thank you.
