James' place is right on the High St. and perfect for visiting the Castle, shopping, pubs and tours. His place is nice and exactly as advertised. He has many nice touches like tea and coffee, sugar, laundry detergent, shampoo, dish soap etc for you to use. He even allows access to his Netflix. He has guide books for use and has put together a list of some of his favorite pubs and restaurants, where to get groceries and numbers for taxis and emergencies which was nice.
Cons: street noise has been mentioned before but I would add a bit to that. Over the weekend the traffic never stops and the crashing glass of recycling collection was a bit ridiculous. James says he's in the process of replacing the windows, which is necessary, as they currently block out zero noise (he does provide ear plugs). The bed has a footboard so if you're 6'3" as I am you won't be able to straighten your legs without going corner to corner. The floors are very creaky and he warns about the elderly and infirm neighbor below and I always felt I needed to tiptoe around the flat (probably unnecessarily). There isn't a lift so be prepared to carry your luggage up to the fourth floor.
