We very much enjoyed meeting and staying with Mark, who is very helpful, chilled out and has a good sense of humour. His apartment is in the best location for exploring Edinburgh, with nice bars and coffee shops just outside the door, and the palace a stones throw away. The apartment is really homely, and the bedroom is so cosy with a lovey bed and sheets. I really enjoyed sitting in the rocking chair in my room, looking out at Arthur's seat. We were only a couple of minutes walk from the train station which meant there was no panic on the day of our departure, along with the fact that Mark leg us stay until we were ready to go. We had the day to explore and then returned to the apartment to pick,up our luggage, left our key and strolled over to then train. Very relaxing trip, will be tempted to return.
