The absolute perfect location! This was a first time experience for my husband and I; we have only ever stayed in hotels. Mark has opened a new world of adventure and meeting new people to us. After driving around for two weeks, it was nice to park the car and be able to walk to everything we wanted to see. Mark is a great host, he recommended the best seafood restaurant, Ondine! It is no surprise that he has so many great reviews. I knew we would be within walking distance of the Royal Mile, I did not realized we were smack dab in the middle of it. At one end was Holyrood Palace and at the other was Edinburgh Palace, both within walking. There are four flights of stairs to the apartment, but Mark was incredibly kind and brought our two 50 pound suitcases up, while we parked the car. He has a world map with pins from his visitors and now he has a pin for us! Thanks for being such a wonderful host Mark!!
