Jack has been a wonderful host even before we got to Edinburgh. He was extremely helpful and patient guiding us with possible touring options, restaurant suggestions (esp since we are vegetarian), car rental companies and many more.
The apartment is comfortable for families (upto 1 kid over 10 and 1 young who can share the large bed) with not too much luggage. We loved the view from the house....a good part of Edinburgh and beyond, and loved the location as we enjoyed walking around a lot.
The apartment itself is beautifully decorated and Jack has managed to equip it with everything...we didn't really use the kitchenette but it's possible to make basic breakfast.
We arrived around midnight and Jack was kind to meet us at the apartment to explain everything....he even brought us some lovely croissants, bananas and milk for breakfast for the morning.
We arrived on a Friday night so it was a bit noisy since there is a restaurant bar below the apartment building. While we didn't need to wash laundry...a common laundry area is available on a separate floor of the apartment.
All in all my family (3 of us) had a comfortable stay in a home away from home.
