Will's third story apartment features an eclectic charm that reflects his gracious hospitality and artistic tastes. It's funky, for sure. And, it may not be for everyone - it's a converted public housing apartment at the top of three stories of stairs. The surrounding outdoor aesthetic left a lot to be desired. YET, the location is incredible - a few minutes walk from St. Giles and entry to the Royal Mile and another few minutes walk down to the Cowgate and the university district. It's absolutely quiet, too, and Will keeps the place spotless. There's a separate toilet room but the shower is actually in the bedroom. Yet, it's a modern shower and the fan above it works very well. The small kitchen has everything you need for a simple meal and the front living room and outdoor sitting area are very comfortable. My biggest issue was the bed - it's FIRM - and maybe it's just that I'm 63 years old, but we had to make some modifications to make it work for us. But overall, we had a great stay here and it was a pleasure to be hosted by Will.
