We highly recommend this flat! It is is terrific. There were four adults staying here, and there was plenty of room. It is located in New Town. The neighborhood is lively, with many restaurants and grocery stores nearby. It is completely safe. There is a lovely, small garden at the back, which is accessible. The flat is very comfortable, with lovely linens and a fully equipped kitchen, a huge plus, since we ate breakfast in as well as a two dinners. Edinburgh is a walking city, and it is very easy to walk to everything you want to see. You do not need to rent a car in the city. (However, be prepared for a fairly expensive cab ride to the airport, unless you take public transport, which is available). Paul was very helpful -- there were two lights out in the front room, which made it very dark and unusable, and he attended to that immediately. I would not recommend the apartment to people with mobility issues; it is a basement flat, with very steep stairs down from the street. But it is not dark -- there are windows at the front and back, and onto the garden. We also used the full washer and dryer to do laundry, which was most welcome. (The dryer does take a while, though, as in most of Europe, so plan accordingly). While we did not meet Paul, we did text several times, and we were made to feel very welcome. All said, a wonderful place from which to explore a lovely city.
