Paul's apartment on the royal mile near the Edinburgh castle was my first experience in an air bnb. I am spoiled now. Paul was extremely receptive and informative from the moment I emailed him to inquire about the apartment till the day we checked out. The apartment was exactly as described and even nicer. Paul met myself and my family several hours before the scheduled check in to give us the keys, go over places to visit and store our luggage because our flight arrived very early in the morning. He left us fresh milk, juice, coffee and pastries and a pamphlet of his recommended restaurants and sites. Paul was leaving on his own vacation that afternoon but arranged for us to meet his friend and gave me his number in case we needed anything. Even though this apartment is in the heart of old town and busy at this time of year, the bedrooms were extremely quiet and we were in walking distance to everything. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul as a host and this apartment to anyone visiting Edinburgh.
