Edinburgh is a brilliant place to stay, and the location of the flat is excellent - you can walk everywhere from it. We enjoyed watching the street entertainers from the window, too. Despite plug in heaters and a gas fire, the flat was uncomfortably cold for us soft southerners. We only managed to make contact (and not with Michael) the day before we arrived, which we found frustrating, though Nick, when we finally heard from him and met him, was friendly and helpful. The flat is expensive for what it is - you are clearly paying for where it is. On our next visit to Edinburgh (we will definitely come back!) we will be looking for somewhere else to stay.
