My 18-year-old daughter Ellen and her friend Saffia stayed in Gill's flat in Edinburgh during the last weekend of the Fringe festival. The location could not have been better - it was a 10 minute walk to the High Street/Royal Mile, and a 5 minute walk to The National Museum of Scotland and The Elephant House (the café where JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter). With suitcases, it took about 15 minutes to walk from Edinburgh Wakerley station. There were great bars only a 2 minute walk away, and a small Tesco also about 2 minutes away where any essentials could be bought.
The property was beautifully furnished and felt very homely - little touches like additional blankets made the flat a great place to stay.
Gill was a wonderful host - tea, coffee, milk, beers, and biscuits were all ready and waiting! The kitchen was very well equipped, as was the bathroom with a range of toiletries. Ellen and Saffia unfortunately did not meet Gill as their train arrived earlier than expected, but Gill was very accommodating and left the keys in the MasterSafe and supplied all the info needed.
Ellen and Saffia thoroughly enjoyed their stay (for nearby restaurants, they recommend Viva Mexico and The City Café). The property was perfect, and Gill was a brilliant host!
