James was a terrific host, very responsive, understanding, and helpful. He was flexible with the timing of both our arrival and departures. He was always easy to get in contact with, and a amiable and friendly host.
Our family (mom and dad, with two 13-year old daughters) stayed in James’ apartment for four days, and would have loved to extend the stay! The apartment has large windows and lots of space, and is perfectly located close to the center of Edinburgh and the Royal Mile. Bruntsfield is a charming area, and we quickly got to know and like the neighborhood. We walked into the center of town each day across the Meadows, which was lovely. In the other direction a few blocks down a hill, there is a formerly industrial quay which has been cleaned up as a park, where houseboats dock. Public transportation is incredibly easy - the buses from outside the apartment will take you anywhere in the city. James gave us lots of good tips for great food and bar options. When we returned to the apartment after long days it was a quiet and comfortable sanctuary, and we all had plenty fo space to spread out and relax. Very highly recommended!
