David provided milk, bread, snack bars, tea, coffee, jams, and a small bottle of wine to welcome us. He also provided travel-sized shampoo and soap. Having a washer and dryer available was a big plus.

David was away on holiday but he had a friend available if we needed help with anything.

Visitors need only walk a block or so east of the flat to the Grassmarket area that has numerous pubs and places to eat. Food stalls were set up on Saturday at the Grassmarket. `About 2 blocks uphill from the Grassmarket is the Royal Mile. One half block west of the flat is a small grocery store and more places to eat or drink. Bus services are available a short walk on the street to the east and west.

The bedroom had ample dresser and closet space. We liked having the entire flat as opposed to sharing living space with a host.
