Paul was a terrific host. I had a last minute problem that I thought would require having a package delivered to me, and Paul went out of his way to make that work offering to have it come to his office prior to my arrival, although ultimately I had a different arrangement.

The unit is very clean, is in a perfect location (the center of the Royal Mile), and extremely comfortable. I have only one minor concern: to get to the unit, you must climb two flights of a very old spiral staircase with uneven stairs and handrail only on the first flight. For my family this was not a problem, but for older travelers or for families with infants or toddlers, it could be a concern. Otherwise, I can't imagine a more central location and a more pleasant unit.

It also has a great kitchen (and a washer, which I used). I made breakfast there each morning, which was really helpful, especially for my children. Nearly everything that you would want to see and do is walkable. You do have a bit of a walk to park your car, but there will be no unit on the Royal Mile for which that is not true. If you want to be in the thick of it, you will have to walk about 10-12 minutes to park. It was not a problem for us.

It was wonderful to be in such a central location. Paul maintains the place extremely well, even going so far as to bring me a new frying pan because the one in the draw was a bit dirty from the past guest! It is a very modern unit in a very old city. The pictures are accurate an might even understate things a bit.
