John is an excellent host, so do'nt hesitate to book a room with him. You will feel at home straight away. He is relaxed and easy going and very helpfull. Most of the time you will have the place to your self. Breakfast is included (croissants, fresh fruit, yoghurt, etc).
The house is in walking distance of the Royal Mile and if you cross the street you're in a wonderfull parc, where you can walk straight up to Arthurs Seat.
