Alan's apartment is perfectly located, with everything on a walking distance, just 2 minutes form the famous Royal Mile. The apartment was very clean, had a nice bed and a good shower. We did not really use the kitchen, but it was well equipped. We never saw Alan, but he gave us good instructions about the practicalities, and we could reach him on his cellphone. In case we would visit Edinburgh again, we would definitely consider Alan's apartment to stay in!
