I spent my final 9 nights of a six week tour of Scotland here at Mark's, confirming my 'suspicion' that I had saved the best for last! Mark was especially welcoming, hauling my luggage up two flights from the street, serving a cold drink on a very warm day, and sitting to chat as I wound down from a long day of travel. The bedroom is far more spacious than the photos portray, the bed exceptionally comfortable, with great pillows! The view onto Chessel's Court is lovely and quiet. The bathroom has heated floors - so welcome on a chilly morning - and a large shower. Mark is very relaxed about sharing his home, giving total access to his kitchen, washer/dryer - virtually anything. He offered helpful suggestions of places to tour, even arranged a bit of night life, and scheduled a cab for my departure. The location right on the Royal Mile is incomparable: where else can one lean out the kitchen window and watch the Tattoo fireworks? I can't recommend it highly enough! When I return to beautiful Edinburgh, it will be to Mark's.
