This was our second stay at Mark's apartment after one day away and it felt like coming home! Mark was ironing the duvet covers in the kitchen when we arrived. He had let us keep our keys and let us leave most of our luggage at the apartment while we spent one night at a hotel up the street (because he had already booked another guest before us).
Everything was a great as the first time and the sun was coming through the big windows in our room. We were the only guests as usual which is one of the nice things about staying at Mark's place.
The location on The Royal Mile was perfect for meeting our tour to Stirling Castle early one morning as well as catching one of many buses to the Ocean Terminal to tour the Britannia and see a movie, or visit the Botanical Gardens and Edinburgh Zoo. It was fun to get home in the evenings and discuss our day with Mark.
