The location of James' apartment is great - right in the thick of all the things you want to see in Edinburgh, and close to a lovely park which was a great place to relax during available moments of sunshine!
Although we didn't meet, James was a very communicative host, very helpful and checked that everything went smoothly during our visit. It was easy to collect the keys for check in, and drop them at check out, even first thing in the morning. The apartment is very clean and very spacious with comfortable modern furniture and appliances, and all the amenities we needed for our few days stay. Wifi was available and quick. There is a supermarket within easy waking distance (few minutes). Only down-side was that there is construction in the area, the building opposite and 2 buildings down. This results in some early morning noise, and a high pitched beeping sound one evening. Workers are also directly across the way so blinds need to be kept down for privacy if required. Of course not much any host can do about this but worth a mention in the listing until completed. That said, we would certainly recommend a stay in this apartment.
