John met us early, 8:30am, which was so convenient after an early arrival. He clearly explained everything about the apartment, and we had no problems with anything during our six night stay. The absolutely brilliant thing about the apartment was its location. You are literally twenty metres from the Royal Mile through the back entrance, and about five minutes walk to Waverly Station. Castle views (and the Castle itself) are minutes away. Don't be deceived by the photo -the book shelf isn't real - but there are plenty of handy books related to Edinburgh and Scotland available. The apartment is clean and tidy, and warm -we had to take off jackets and warm tops when in the room. Overall, we would recommend this apartment, and certainly say stay in Edinburgh. It is a beautiful and interesting city.
