John's place was FABULOUS! It was close enough to the center of town to make everything easily accessible (we walked everywhere), but far enough away so that it was quiet at night (not a party place). The layout was comfortable, and the view was beautiful. The kitchen was very well supplied, and the apartment was nicely decorated. One fun thing of note--some of the gorgeous artwork of Edinburgh and other scenes around the apartment were painted by John himself! We never met John, but he was great at communicating and available if we needed anything. If we are fortunate enough to travel to Edinburgh again, we will surely try to book this apartment!
