Gill and John's apartment could not be placed in a better spot in Edinburgh! With a view of Prince's Street / Gardens out of the window at the front and access to the Royal Mile from the back door, we were never more than a stone throw away from where we wanted to visit. This is very handy if you want to quickly pop back to change your shoes, after walking up Arthur's Seat, before going out for dinner haha!
John was very lovely upon our arrival, and helped in directing us to the whereabouts of any shops / attractions we wanted to see during our stay. As for the apartment itself, we had everything we needed (including a, very much appreciated, pint of milk for the morning breakfast). Despite being a 300 year old building, we were very cozy at night - resulting in actually turning the heating off ... Even in chilly December!
Could not have wished for a more charming place to stay in Edinburgh. Would definitely recommend :)
