We were only in Edinburgh for a short weekend but found Mark's home very comfortable and would have been happy to stay much longer. Getting around was easy, at least for the things we wanted to do. We took the train from London to Edinburgh and the 35 bus conveniently took us within a 3 minute walk to the apartment. Overall, we felt very safe, the porches on either side of the apartment are awesome, and Mark's cat, Olivia, was adorable and playful! Would definitely recommend and stay again if we return to Edinburgh. Cheers!
