Mario's property is perfect if you need parking and would like to be within walking distance of Edinburgh. It is right next to Arthur's seat and just beyond the bottom of the royal mile. We preferred to eat out rather than stay in the apartment but the kitchen was well equipped if you were hoping to stay in. Communication with Mario was very easy and the process of letting yourselves into the apartment is straightforward. The apartment is generally fairly basic inside in quite a residential area but we thought the price reflected this - as most others with parking were a lot more expensive. It was perfect for what we needed and we really enjoyed our stay - but perhaps not quite as nice as the photos suggest!
