Life on Great King!

What a lovely two weeks we spent at the Great King Street flat. The flat itself is beautifully furnished with antiques which led friends to whom I had sent photos to exclaim, "how posh!" The kitchen was fully equipped, and though we didn't often eat an evening meal at home, we enjoyed breakfasts and coffee to get us going in the mornings. The flat is best suited for adults who enjoy fine furniture and art and are willing to take good care of the owner's belongings. Did I mention how close to public transportation this flat is? So convenient. We would like to return!

Lovely place in a wonderful city

Highly recommend this flat. Host and local contact were wonderful and responsive. The place is so pretty and elegant and had every practical thing needed — from a wealth of linens to high quality shampoos. The location is terrific for vacation or work. WiFi was strong and consistent. Spent a month there and did not want to leave!

Lots of room to move about. Good location in a lovely neighborhood.

Interesting decor. Very clean. Lots of room to move about. Felt very safe in the area. Groceries within walking distance. Bed comfortable. Good shower pressure. Washer/dryer a plus. Strong wifi. A few suggestions - move big screen TV off floor and place on top of a cabinet or similar, provide a microwave for kitchen and put up a makeup mirror (maybe above towel rack on back of door).

Wonderful stay!

This property was absolutely perfect and I really enjoyed my stay. Beautifully decorated and just a stunning location. The bed was also super comfortable! It was perfect for my short visit to Edinburgh for the fringe, was pretty close to all the biggest venues without feeling too close to the noise and crowds. Peter and Anna were extremely accommodating and the check-in process was a breeze. Hope I can stay here again next year :)

About the host

Hosted by Peter Geiger

I am an educator and collector and divide my time between San Francisco, California, United States, Edinburgh, United Kingdom and Palma de Mallorca, Spain. I value beauty in the built environment and a walkable capital city: Edinburgh surpasses my expectations—I have never before lived in a place with so much to offer so close by.

Why they chose this property

The well-regarded New Town location is close to the shops and restaurants of Broughton Street. The raised Ground Floor contains the principal rooms of the Georgian house under 13 foot ceilings. The past few years have seen a renewed interest in times gone by and I have chosen a 'Downton Abbey' theme to the furnishings and decoration using reclaimed fixtures, antique furniture and period colors.

What makes this property unique

The sunny eat-in kitchen, large dining hall, sunny studio bedroom and substantial drawing room with its two vast windows make this flat a very comfortable and versatile home. The kitchen, bath and laundry have all new appliances. Two period marble fireplaces (decorative only, not working), working window shutters and an eclectic collection of objects combine to create a unique feeling of serenity.
