Hi, I spent 4 days with my partner in Gill's apartment and it is definitely a place that i will recommend and that I will reconsider if i'll be back in Edinburgh!
Gill and John are very gentle and kind, the apartment is clean and well organized and the location is fantastic: we basically never took a bus or the tram to visit the city.
Everything is walking distance from Gill's apartment: the castle (10 mins), shopping streets (not even 2 minutes), holyrood palace (25mins) and Water of Leith Walkway (20mins). Adding that the restaurant just in front of the apartment is really nice, which is quite a plus when you're tired after a day spent visiting the city, and it becomes one of the best location for your stay in Edinburgh.
Thanks again Gill and John! hope to see you again soon !
