Paul was very welcoming and remained in communication before and during our trip. The apartment itself was very well appointed and included all of the amenities of a modern living space, including clothes washer/dryer, refrigerator, freezer, iron & board, etc. The bathroom was a bit on the small side, but that was to be expected. The bed was comfortable and the living space was cozy. The only possible downsides of the apartment itself is that the walls are a bit thin, and it is a third floor walk up if you happen to have heavy bags. The location is good, although you do have to walk a bit (5 or 6 blocks or so) to get to the local sights. It is, however, a little nice to be away from the touristy center of the Royal Mile.
