Mark's apartment (flat) was really fantastic. It's location and layout is just terrific. As an Edinburgh first timer, I was blown away and Mark made it easy with his tips and suggestions. (I asked a lot of questions when I got there only to realize he had it ALL laid out for me/us/you! on laminated sheets, right there in the flat.) The place is lovely, fun and close to whatever you might desire. Truly, you could spend a happy month there and enjoy every moment of it. I am from New York, and am a bit discerning -- this was a great trip. I hope I can come back and stay at Mark's place again. Make Edinburgh, and Mark's place, a 'Bucket List' item!
