It was a lovely, immaculately clean flat with one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. It had everything I needed including a hairdryer, plugs and adapters, a bedside table, hanging space, a TV, wifi, fresh flowers, fresh water in a decanter plus a glass, a very cosy duvet and a really delicious, freshly-prepared breakfast each morning. The flat is on the ground floor and the bedroom was at the back so there was no noise at all except the occasional sound of people using the communal stairs and hallway and people walking around in the flat above, but that was hardly noticeable and no problem. Gillian was very helpful and trusting, gave me keys and a towel for my personal use and was very good about keeping a low profile in her own house, not easy! The flat is about 25 minutes walking from the centre of Edinburgh and I didn't use the bus at all after the first day. Gillian was very thoughtful in providing everything I needed including information on where to go and how to get there. She also asked each evening what a wanted for breakfast and when and nothing was too much trouble and made me a hot water bottle at night (despite being July the weather was mainly cool and wet).
