Comfortable stay in fantastic location

I felt very comfortable staying at Peter's flat. It was spotlessly clean and warm inside thanks to Anna who maintains the property in a conscientious manner. The location is fantastic being within an easy walking distance of many attractions. I look forward to my next stay.

Lovely month in Edinburgh

My partner and I had a magnificent 5-6 week stay in Peter's beautiful flat. The flat is spacious and tastefully appointed and had absolutely everything we needed. It was really nice to just sit reading a book and looking out onto the street. On the practical side, there is heaps of hot water and the heating worked very well (we visited in the middle of winter and actually turned the bedroom heater down a little), The kitchen is well equiped and it's a quick walk to the small Tesco, and not much further to Broughton St / bottom of Dundas for some 'higher-end groceries'. Though we didn't meet him in person, Peter was consistently great to deal with. And finally....Anna (the housekeeper) was fanstastic. In particular she helped out with a very late change to our arrival time (thanks to our airline) so that we weren't standing around after a 35 hour set of flights. Overall, we'd love to visit again.

A lovely place to come home to

Great apartment in an excellent location far enough away from the crowds. Tesco around the corner, some nice cafes nearby, and close to most bus stops. The apartment is very quiet, no noise can be heard by neighbours - very thick walls. Everything you need in the kitchen but be aware there is no microwave, we were happy to steam our vegetables. Anna is a real treasure, nothing is too much trouble, if she can help she does. Very comfy bed and lovely antiques to admire, we hope to return

Exceptional apartment in great location

This New Town apartment is just exceptional. The location is perfect for exploring Edinburgh on foot. The decor is superb. It is welcoming and has a very warm feel about it. It was a pleasure to return to the apartment each night and experience the calm and tranquility after a busy day. The bed is extremely comfortable and the soothing view from the bedroom window is just lovely. The kitchen is well equipped and the washer and dryer are very efficient. This accommodation is a rare find, we absolutely loved our week long stay.

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.
