Mark gave great information including directions from the train station and how to enter his apartment building. He was there to meet us on arrival and was extremely friendly helpful in getting situated. The room was very cozy and comfortable as were the rest of the facilities he made available to us. Being able to wash and dry our clothes was a huge benefit as we had been on the road for a week and had another week of travel ahead. The location of his apartment is fantastic; right in the middle of Old Town Edinburgh. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay and would like to return in the future. I highly recommend Marks place for travelers who want to be in the middle of what Edinburgh has to offer.
