Our stay at Gary’s was perfect. We had another ABnB booked for our first 5 days in Edinburgh, and when we decided to change plans and stay an additional 3 nights, Gary’s place happened to have a tiny window of availability a 10 minute walk from our other place and right off High Street (Royal Mile) which is the street you walk to get to almost everything! Within minutes we had it booked, and he was so kind to allow us to drop off our bags early after our other checkout, pick up keys and return later at check-in time so that we didn’t waste the day being stuck down with all our luggage (we took that opportunity to take an easy bus ride to Rosslyn Chapel—that bus stop was a 10 min walk). His apartment is spotlessly clean and with all you need for a comfortable stay. Bed was very comfortable with good pillows and enough blankets. Shower was strong with good hot water. It’s a few steps from High Street but very quiet. Close to Holyrood Palace. Several small restaurants within a few minutes walk and 10 minutes from a large selection of restaurants and bars. WiFi worked beautifully. Our bus back to the airport was a 1 minute walk. It’s literally right next door to Canongate Kirkyard, an important historic church and cemetery in Edi that most tourists visit (my favorite) and a couple of minutes walk from Museum of Edinburgh. The Saturday Food & Flea Market is at New Street just 2 minutes walk. We took a trip out of Waverley Train Station which is only a 14 minute walk (also where Scott Monument is). I just couldn’t believe our fortune to find something so wonderful last minute. Thank you, Gary!
