Paul's apartment in Edinburgh was a great choice for our three day stay. Its location was excellent, just around the corner and two short blocks away from the city's main theatre ( where we picked up tickets a day in advance for Billy Elliot and got great seats for just £42 each).
The apartment was also stylish and comfortable. The beds were excellent, the bathrooms (one is actually a half-bath) were top notch. Stepping out of the shower requires some care, as it is about a 10 inch drop from the shower to the floor, and there is really nothing handy to grab onto as you make the move.
My only gripe is the 4pm check-in. We arrived from our trans-Atlantic plane ride in downtown Edinburgh at 11am, and Paul said he would be unable to have us drop off our bags before 4 o'clock even though the cleaning person or crew was at the apartment. He suggested we drop our bags at the train station, but they wanted £6 for each bag to hold them for 3 hours. Being kinda frugal, I opted to drag them around town for a few hours... so be forewarned that you can't drop anything off early.
