Gil's husband, John, met us on arrival at the flat, and gave us an excellent overview of the flat and the surrounding area. Location couldn't be better--two blocks from the train station, right off the Royal Mile, and a restaurant next door that serves fresh mussels. Nicely appointed apartment amenities and thoughtful welcoming items--wine, milk, cookies, chocolates, and fresh flowers added personality. This is a very pleasant vacation base, thanks to the forethought of its owners.
