I was going to a conference in Edinburgh and was looking for an apartment with some extra living space where both me and my colleague could stay and possibly hang out some of the evenings. I am happy so say that I cannot imagine a better choice. Derek's place was indeed immaculate and perfectly positioned in regards to Edinburgh's downtown area (approx. 20 minutes on foot) as well as The Corn Exchange (the conference center where we spent most of our time). The immediate surroundings had several good pubs, take-away places, as well as an IMAX theatre if you should be so inclined.

Derek was not around to greet us personally, but sent his sister in law as a surrogate. Everything was taken care of extremely professionally and had we had any problems, I am sure they would have helped out swiftly. One word of advice: be careful with the toaster. The slightest hint of smoke will set off the very effective smoke alarm system. It was so aggressive that we were afraid the fire brigade might have showed up because of it.

If I am returning to Edinburgh, this will definitely be on the top of my list of places to stay. Thank you so much Derek for having us in your beautiful apartment!

Cheers,
