Neighborhood
This is a particularly lovely residential part of Edinburgh as it is on the edge or the city centre- 10 minutes walk and you are at the end of George Street/ St Andrews Square, yet you are in a well connected, and desirable part of the city with its own local restaurants and cafes a moment away.

With buses leaving from outside the door, the York Place Tram Stop (which runs to the airport) just a 5 minute walk away and the Waverley Train station a 10min walk away - this property is extremely well connected to the main veins of the city and beyond! Access to public transport is easy from this property although often the best way to explore the city centre is on foot! Bring comfy shoes and an umbrella and you will be able to walk to all the main attractions from this properties front door. It is also worth mentioning that Gayfield Square park is just 30 second away and is a popular place to sit and enjoy the sun on a beautiful day.
This really is a great base to call home during your time in Edinburgh.

Beautiful clean home. Centrally located. Had all the amenities we needed to enjoy our stay. Couches could use replacing, some drinking glasses had chips in the lips, so check before drinking from them. Overall great place to stay. If we ever make it back to Edinburgh, would definitely stay again.

For ease of getting around, this home is ideal. The bus stops literally steps outside the front door. There are two car rental places within a couple of blocks, and a car park (for leaving your car overnight) within a mile. Plenty of space for shared meals. Many shops and restaurants within an easy walking distance. Great place to stay!Quite challenging to get in the first time—the lock box was not where we expected. However, once you collect the key, coming and going was easy.

We stayed at Gayfield Place the last week of September. The house is an easy walk from the Picardy Place tram stop and very close to St James Square which is a large shopping mall. You can store your luggage at customer service for a reasonable fee if your flight arrives early.The house is lovely. Its an older home with beautiful molding. The kitchen is large with full appliances. The lounge was nice with comfy furniture. There is a city bus stop in front of the house and an easy walk to the hop on hop off busses. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. Try the Italian restaurant Mama Rosa's just up the street. So good but make reservations.

This accommodation was perfect for our annual visit to the Edinburgh Fringe. The well-equipped separate kitchen worked well for our needs. Everyone loved it.
