Upon arrival, I met Gemma's partner Serge who was very friendly and gave us advice about near by shops and the fringe festival which was the purpose of our stay. Gemma and Serge have set the place up to feel like a home for my short stay. Towels were set on our bed among arriving. All kitchen necessities were present. Note that you can also see a graveyard right next door, but the view out and above it are absolutely delightful. The neighbour is really nice with shops in close walking distance. It took me about 20-25 minutes to walk from the flat to heart of the Royal Mile. I didn't make much contact with Gemma or Serge throughout my stay just I was always busy seeing plays or going out. I do believe that if there was anything I needed they would be there to assist. I would definitely recommend staying at Gemma's home.
