Mark is the ultimate host. He is available and friendly when you want to chat or have questions, otherwise, the place feels completely like your own. My husband and I stayed for four nights and enjoyed easy access to Edinburgh from Mark's place on the royal mile. Everything is walkable and Arthur's seat is ten minutes in one direction and Edinburgh castle is ten minutes in the other direction. The flat is very clean and the room is so comfortable and sunny with gorgeous views. We can't wait to stay again.
