Mark is very helpful and a fine host. He was very cordial and well informed. I had some interesting conversations with him. The room is very nice, roomy and looks over a quiet courtyard. The apartment is located right on the Royal Mile which is a great location. Walking distance to the train station. Restaurant/pub called The World's End up the street serves great grilled salmon and beer. The floor in the bathroom is heated which I must say is the height of luxury. There is a two story walk-up which should be taken into consideration.
