The location of Mike's place is excellent and represents good value for money. It is located down a quiet street with bars, restaurants and shops at the far end so has everything you need. The castle is a 5 minute walk away as are the xmas markets when we visited in December.
All rooms including common area and bedrooms were spacious and roomy, bedrooms could feel a little cold but it was winter when we were staying and it is Scotland so to be expected! However there were extra blankets in the wardrobes so this wasn't an issue.
The apartment has a bathroom and shower room so this was excellent for our group of 4, in fact all amenities and little extras within the accommodation were a nice touch such as the condiments, herbs, spices, tea, coffee etc.
(Self) check-in was very easy as was check out and correspondence with Mike was very efficient. Thanks for everything!
