I would recommend Gerry’s place to any solo travellers passing through Edinburgh. The flat is located about 15 mins walk at brisk pace from the city centre making it ideal for those who want to see the sights but also get their steps in! Local buses stop regularly nearby in case you don’t fancy a walk. Please note that there are quite a few steps up to the apartment.
Gerry was very helpful and communicative when I was enroute to his place, I don’t think you will find better value for money in Edinburgh.
