Mark was a friendly and knowledgeable host - he was sweet enough to sit us down with a map the moment we arrived to recommend us good restaurants and worthy sights in Edinburgh! He was a friendly guy whom you could sit around and have a chat with about just anything under the sun, from movies to music to travel. His apartment was clean, cosy (even in winter) and extremely accessible, being located right smack in royal mile! Only took less than five minutes to reach St Giles. This is one place I'll return to when I'm back in Edinburgh.
