Sam's place is excellent. It is better than a photo can capture. There is soul in the old building, and heart in the apartment. The beds were very comfortable, with cozy linens. There were views from every window, especially from the upstairs. Books were everywhere, with plenty of variety for everyone in our group to enjoy. We particularly enjoyed the giant world atlas book. We had a great stay, and really looked forward to coming back to the apartment after each day of our Edinburgh adventures. What a great place!
