Much better than a hotel! This apartment is like having your own home in Edinburgh. Even though it’s located steps from restaurants and within site of the castle, it was very quiet. Everything was super clean and comfortable. We loved the upgraded kitchen and appliances, and enjoyed watching TV and listening to music over breakfast. The bathroom is beautiful and it was wonderful to have a soaking tub to relax tired muscles after a day of touring and walking on cobblestones. The living room was wonderfully comfortable with a big sofa and TV. And we slept like babies in the big comfortable four poster bed in the master bedroom. Gill bailed us out by being super quick and responsive and allowing us to rent from her last minute when we discovered the hotel we had reserved was not the best. This trip was for our 25th wedding anniversary and we wanted to have great memories. Gill’s place provided the perfect backdrop for our visit and we had the most amazing vacation in Scotland. Highly recommend this high quality apartment.
