I spent two months and a half in Gerard's flat as I was doing a research fellowship at UoE. The flat is exactly as described, really well equipped, clean and cozy. It really felt like home. It's location is great as it's in a pretty centric area (Leith) with lots of pubs, restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Although the flat is really well connected by bus, it's just a short 20 minute walk to the city centre, so it's really convenient as transport in Edinburgh is not very cheap. Gerard is an amazing host, always suggesting fun things to do and checking how everything was going. If you are considering this flat for a short or long stay, I'll say go for it.
