Jack's Edinburgh View Studio Apartment was our first Airbnb reservation. We made the right choice!! Jack was very helpful, kind, and patient - I had lots of questions and he always responded quickly. Jack let us check in early, and we are forever grateful. He provided 2 bananas, 2 croissants, and milk to get us started. He even took the time to teach us how to dial a UK phone number! He sent us a list of nearby restaurants and places to buy groceries. Jack also provided binoculars, DVDs (Braveheart, etc.), books, and maps of Scotland, etc. The apartment was exactly as pictured - perfect!! Located on the Mound with spectacular views of Prince's Street gardens and the Firth of Forth. Situated high above the street, we loved cracking the window open to listen to the city, and looking at the lights. Laundry facilities on a lower level. Elevator / lift for floors 2 and up. There were several coffee shops and restaurants nearby. The Royal Mile was only 50 steps away through the courtyard / close and then a three block walk to the castle. I highly recommend Jack's apartment - we didn't want to leave!!
