Gillian made my daughter and I feel very welcome. We went to Edinburgh for the University open day and Gillian's flat was perfectly situated for this as it is a 5-10 minute walk away across a park. It's a beautiful area with Gillian's flat on a lovely tree lined avenue. The flat is about a 20 minute walk from the city centre or you could get the number 41 bus from the end of the road which comes every 10 minutes. The flat is small but perfect and the guest bedroom has been very thoughtfully kitted out with attention to detail with all that you could need. The bed was really comfortable and the flat was spotlessly clean. Gillian made us a really nice cooked breakfast in the morning, which set us up for the day. All the information that Gillian gives was really helpful and the directions on how to find her flat were easy to follow. The whole area and even the city feel very safe. There are so many places to eat within a 10 minute (walking) radius from Gillian's flat, your hardest job will be choosing one.
