Paul was unfailingly responsive and kind--a very gracious host. The apartment was just as described--a stunning location right at the top of the Royal Mile, and so near other wonderful parts of Edinburgh, such as Grassmarket and Victoria St. (One small warning about such a prime location: bagpipers are omnipresent.) The apartment was a great size for two adults (in the main bedroom) and a young teenager (on the couch in the living room).

I've always believed that it is how one deals with the difficulties that indicate true hospitality. There were a couple of small glitches, but each time Paul responded almost instantly to my communications and worked hard to resolve the issue. We felt quite comfortable during our stay, and well supported before, during, and after. I highly recommend Paul's home.
