We stayed for 3 nights at Paul's apartment and really enjoyed it! it's in an excellent location for exploring Edinburgh (we walked everywhere), though it's near lots of buses too, and there are lots of great restaurants right up the street from the flat. Lots of space, clean, soft comfortable beds, great shower, and great tv with cable package (a big hit with our young son who would have stayed in and watched the many cartoon channels all weekend if we would have let him :))...also Paul has a great selection of DVDs if you want to stay in and have a movie night. As others have mentioned, he's an excellent host -- had provided us with groceries like milk, fruit, eggs, oats, coffee, pasta, and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. would definitely recommend!
