Gill communicated quickly to my inquiries regarding timing of our arrival and location details. Her husband met us and gave us a good orientation to the apartment and the area plus some good restaurant recommendations. We found the apartment clean, orderly, and nicely decorated. It has a serene design sense. The bed and furnshings were comfortable. We loved the central location of New Town and found that we walked to our sites. We had a great time biking in Edinburgh too. I highly recommend Gill's apartment as a place to stay. There are restaurants on the streets but noise from them dies down just at the time one is ready for sleep. They did not disturb us even with open windows. Gill kindly prepared the kitchen with some coffee and milk and biscuits which was a nice touch. We would gladly return here if we visit the city again.
