We loved our stay in this residence. It is very close by the center of Edinburgh and we were able to visit everything on foot, including the Royal mile, Arthur's seat, Edinburgh castle etc. Mark is a friendly and helpful person. The room, bathroom, kitchen etc are very clean and new and you won't hear anything from outside because of the good windows (the ambulance sirens are extremely loud :-). Inside, the walls are a bit thin so you can hear each other quite well. For us this was the most important reason to not give this venue 5 stars. Everything else is great.
