My husband and I stayed in Martin's place for 5 days and absolutely loved it! Cockburn Street is very conveniently located between the old and new town and you are 2 minutes from Waverley station and everything on the Royal Mile. Martin's place was exceptionally clean and well stocked. He was kind enough to provide some basic food stuff and we lacked nothing in terms of kitchen equipment. Martin was also kind enough to share what his own favourite places in the city are to see and experience. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay and when we return to Edinburgh, we know the place to stay!
