My husband, teenage daughter and I recently spent a wonderful 5 days in Paul’s delightful apartment on the Royal Mile. What a pleasure! The apartment was in a perfect location, in a lovely little close just a few steps down from the Camera Obscura and Edinburgh Castle on one side and Gladstone’s Land on the other; we had a background music of bagpipes during daylight hours that just set the mood. It was in perfect location to walk to all of the Old Town attractions and restaurants, and Prince Street was a nice stroll.
Best of all, Paul was the perfect host: his check-in instructions were impeccable and made our initial entry into the apartment super-easy. He also provided a lovely overview of local restaurants and businesses, which was very helpful, as well. I only had a few questions before and during my stay, but Paul always replied within 5 or 10 minutes, with clear answers to each of my questions. The apartment itself was well-equipped, and a comfortable haven following a long day of sightseeing up and down the Edinburgh Streets.
I will note that the apartment is on the third floor, with access via an ancient circular staircase: it was visually a delight every time we came in and out, as I imagined the generations of people who had placed their feet on the stairs before us.
We would love to stay at Paul’s apartment again the next time we visit Edinburgh, and have already recommended the apartment to friends who will be visiting this amazing city next year. Thank you, Paul, for a wonderful stay!
