Gordon was friendly, quick to respond and answer questions, and accommodating any time we had concerns or requests. He had a great selection of city resources at the flat to help make our stay more engaging.

Gordon is an excellent host with attention to detail. The flat is beautifully decorated with lots of art to appreciate and admire. It is clear that he takes great pride and care of that space and shares his taste and appreciation with others.

The second bedroom bed is quite small for two adults to share which we weren't expecting but it wasn't intolerable. Get cozy! The flat was a great place to land at the end of the day. Very spacious and inviting with plenty of furniture and other household items. There was really nothing we felt we needed but didn't have. As others have said, the TV us quite small if you're trying to watch sports (the World Cup, in our case) or anything in detail, but not a huge issue as most time is likely spent doing other things.

Lots of amenities and the Royal Mile within 10 minutes walking or less. Princes St about 15-20 minutes depending on pace and sidewalk congestion (it can be very busy!). This is a bustling neighbourhood with mostly locals but increasing tourists as you get closer to the Royal Mile and downtown.

There is a huge variety of food places nearby - takeaway, dine-in, grocery - of many cuisine types so it is easy to find food and drink at all hours.

Lots of taxis and buses nearby and the Waverly train station is also incredibly convenient.

We would certainly recommend staying at Gordon's flat for a very convenient, affordable, and comfortable place to stay in Edinburgh.
