Without being (too) hyperbolic, simply the best accomodation experience-- hotel, inn, rental, airbnb, etc-- we've ever had in our hundreds of travels. Gareth and his place are both gems: the host is kind, responsive, informative, and flexible; the apartment is historic yet modern, beautifully taken care of and clean, full of warm touches and helpful amenities. The location is superbly central, in the midst of Edinburgh city life, yet the sleep is quiet and deep in the bedrooms. Such a fantastic place and host!
