The Apartment was great, great location for everything in Edinburgh. His suggestions were great on places to eat and tours to take. The stairs were a little brutal especially with heavy suitcases but we knew that coming in so it wasn't a big deal. You can't hear anything from the other tenants but there is a bar underneath and they are really loud especially on the weekends.. If you are a light sleeper it will stink for the first few days. During the week it is less noisy. The Beds were comfy and the other space in the Apt was great. Mark is a great host, he gets back to you quickly when you have questions.
