Guestbook

Wonderful stay in a really nice apartment! This place has everything you need. The free WiFi and laptop is great to have! The owner is very friendly and kind enough to pick you up and drop you off. We really liked the location because you are close to the sights but it is nice and quiet in the evening after a full day of sightseeing! Don't hesitate to book a holiday in Edinburgh at Gordon's place!

Arrangements are really easy to make and you will surely have a nice time here! Highly recommend! Thanks for the nice getaway!

I stayed at this location for the month of November 2011 and had a wonderful experience. The apartment was clean and comfortable and very convenient to all sites and transportation. Gordon-the-landlord was a joy (I loved his dry wit!) and he had excellent recommendations. The train runs behind the apartment complex but being a native New Yorker I didn't really notice. I'm so happy to have chosen this apartment both for the comfort and convenience and appreciated the accessibility to Holyrood Park. I usually travel alone and never worried for my personal safety during my stay, even walking back from a late night in Edinburgh or from the train station. I also count myself as very fortunate for having traveled to Scotland during one of their warmest Novembers in recent history. I was a little concerned about spending that time of year on the North Sea but the weather cooperated and the apartment was cozy during the very few stormy nights.

If you are looking for a trip through history with a warm and comfortable setting to rest after an aggressive day of exploring, I recommend Alba4u2enjoy

I spent a lovely weekend in Edinburgh with clock mill lane as my base. Fantastic location within easy walking distance to the Royal Mile city centre. Apartment was warm and welcoming with all the facilities you need (and much more besides...)

Gordon has thought of everything to aid an enjoyable stay with lots of literature and books about the city and surrounding areas. I went to Roslin Chapel which was an easy 7 mile drive.I would definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to family and friends.

This comfortable and convenient single bedroom apartment is highly recommended. The location is ideal due to its proximity to the centre of Edinburgh (10 minute walk to Holyrood House Palace at the bottom of the Royal Mile). The excellent bus service stops nearby and taxicabs are plentiful and reasonably priced. We are in our early fifties and walked almost everywhere including the grocery store. The apartment is located on a quiet street near the main rail line into the city. Trains pass by frequently but the sound (can't call it noise) did not disturb us. A pullout bed in the living room (lounge) would accommodate children or a second couple. For one couple the amount of space is luxurious. The flat is well furnished and there was enough food for a late meal on the day we arrived and breakfast the next morning. No review of this apartment would be complete without mentioning the owner. Gordon is attentive (but not intrusive), friendly and genuinely interested in ensuring the best possible experience for his guests.

Booking was quick and easy with Gordon returning our emails promptly, answering all questions honestly and completely. He even provided complete information on traveling from airport to doorstep of property! Although we chose to walk the city, bus service was easily within the block. Buses were prompt, clean and easy to use.

Value for our money was excellent-we could cook a bit and relax, watch tv, had access to computer and internet in the apartment. Our son who is studying in Edinburgh came and stayed with us once or twice also-plenty of room. Property was very clean and well kept, instructions for appliances were easy to follow and all was very secure and safe. We would recommend this property to anyone visiting Edinburgh and area-be prepared for some walking as you would in any major city.

We enjoyed the Grassmarket area the most simply due to its proximity to the college of Edinburgh. You must climb Arthurs Seat, visit the castle and enjoy a pint at every pub! (good luck, mate, with the latter as there are a mighty lot of pubs!) Cheers, Gordon - we hope to meet you again in the future!

Gordon couldn’t have been a nicer host! We really enjoyed our 3-day stay in Edinburgh. Not only was the apartment lovely and comfortable, but Gordon made sure everything was perfect for us.

He went way beyond what was expected: From picking us up from the train station- to driving us to our tour stop. We appreciated the breakfast food and restaurant/pub recommendations, too!

I’d highly recommend staying here!

Thanks Gordon for making our stay in Scotland extra special! We were so impressed by your lovely and comfortable flat and pleased that you had stocked it so well. We didn't need to visit the store once… except for wine and cheese to replenish supplies for our stay!! How nice it was to have a dishwasher and clothes washer and dryer. The flat was just as advertised!

The location – near Holyrood Park – made it very convenient to get to the RR station and the historic areas. We  appreciated your taking us to Rosslyn Chapel on our first day, making it an easy trip for two tired people! And, thanks for stopping at the mall so we could purchase a phone.

We loved having use of the free Internet so we could contact friends and family during our stay. By the way, thanks for the bus information making the trip into Edinburgh from the airport smooth and for taking us from the station to the flat. Your further assistance when we needed to get to the top of the Royal Mile one day and then to the train station when we left was a huge help. Best of all, we were so happy to make the acquaintance of Josh – thanks for bringing him over!

All in all, we consider the Scottish portion of vacation the most enjoyable due to your efforts Gordon and we heartily recommend your flat to anyone considering a stay in Edinburgh. Thank you so much!

From the beginning of our planning until we left, working with Gordon was a pleasure. We booked for 4 nights in September. The booking process was easy and he provided a great deal of information about Edinburgh and how to get to the apartment. As it turned out, we didn’t need that because he kindly picked up up at the train station.

The apartment is comfortable and well stocked and we especially appreciated the goodies he had waiting for us: breakfast items, sweets, wine – awesome. The first night he even dropped us off at a restaurant he likes so we didn’t even have to worry about dinner since our train arrived in the early evening. It was crowded but his connection got us in promptly. Having the WiFi available was especially useful. We spent two very full days sightseeing in Edinburgh, following some of his suggestions. The city bus was quite convenient and we used it frequently. Our third day there we took the train to St. Andrews for the day – a very easy day trip which we enjoyed immensely.

Finally, since we had an early flight out of Edinburgh, we used his car service to get to the airport – much easier than worrying about a taxi or shuttle at 5 a.m. Overall, the Edinburgh experience was terrific – we almost felt like we were visiting a distant relative or a friend of a friend. We would definitely stay with Gordon again and highly recommend his apartment.

Contact with Gordon is very easy; Gordon provide many photos and explanations to facilitate your stay; the apartment is superb;
Now we know where we stay in Edinburgh!
thank you again for your hospitality and kindness; it is possible that we meet again, because after 10 days in Scotland, for sure we will return to further explore this beautiful country and its very friendly people.
best regards

We greatly enjoyed staying at Gordon’s during our recent trip to the magical Edinburgh. His flat was very comfortable, and spacious for our family of four (two adults/two teens). It had everything we needed and more. Located within easy walking distance of Old and New Town and on the edge of the beautiful Holyrood Palace and park, we couldn’t have asked for a better launching point.

We arrived to a well- stocked refridgerator, very clean and pleasant space, with a modern kitchen, all the appliances you would want (washer/dryer/dishwasher) & internet access.

The layout was quite nice – we were never tripping over each other. On top of all that, Gordon could not have been nicer. He even got up early on a Saturday to drop us at the train station. We had a wonderful time thanks in large part to your great place and hospitality. Thanks Gordon!
