The apartment is amazing. It is much closer to the train station than it looks on the map and is just steps from the Royal Mile. Martin made us feel welcome by having a bottle of wine and milk (for my morning coffee) waiting for us in the apartment so that finding a market didn't need to be a priority on our first evening in Edinburgh. Having access to the roof terrace - with amazing views - was an added bonus. The diverse selection of Scottish books and DVDs was a great resource. I wish that we would have had more time to watch all of the films.
