We had a fantastic stay with Mark. It is hard for me to imagine a better location. Everything we wanted to see during our short stay in Edinburgh was an easy walk, and catching the train to Glasgow and the shuttle to the airport were both simple operations. Mark was a great host, and had some tea and biscuits (cookies) ready for us shortly after our arrival. He went out of his way to help us find the things we wanted to do, made restaurant suggestions, and even researched some of the attractions that we had mentioned. Everything he suggested was a good choice. We enjoyed hanging out with him and talking in the mornings and evenings, but we also had a spacious comfortable private room when we wanted to retire and rest. Also, the internet was the fastest I used during a week staying all over the UK, which is something I appreciated. Would definitely stay with Mark again the next time we're in Edinburgh.
