Stayed a lovely few days at Paul's flat in Edinburgh. It is about a 15 minute walk from there to Waverly Station - which is right in the middle of the Royal Mile. It is about 20-25 minutes walk to either Holyroodhouse Palace or Edinburgh Castle. Paul was most helpful and great about communication. He gave me a wonderful list of tips and information. One note, the bathroom is quite narrow. I am average size for a woman (5'8" US size 10) and it was just wide enough when turned side to the sink. If you are more than average size/height then this might prove a very cramped space for you. The bathroom itself is well appointed and it is amazing what they have fit into this stylish small flat. A great spot to stay for a few days of exploring!
