I stayed two weeks in Edinburgh, so was looking for a place a little removed from the bustle of tourists in the Old and New Towns, while still close to both locations. Mark's place was great for that. It's also right next to Calton Hill (7 min walk), where you can take in great views of the city. The flat very comfortable and well equipped with items for cooking, laundry, etc. Though the front door and living room are right off (or, rather: below) a busy street, it feels private and cozy. The bedrooms are impressively quiet; I couldn't hear the street construction from them, only very occasionally a muted footstep from upstairs. As someone who has trouble sleeping with even light noise, I was able to get good rest consistently. Mark was very communicative throughout the stay. I would recommend a visit!
