Paul's place was exactly as shown in the photos if not better. The location was absolutely PERFECT, my husband and I walked to everything around the city (Edinburgh Castle/Calton Hill/Arthur's Seat/Royal Mile/HolyroodHouse Palace/all major shopping areas and more!) He also has a parking spot which was very helpful and even allowed us to use the space the next day when we had checked out to see a few more sights in the city.
Stepping into the apartment itself, the place is very nicely decorated and clean. We used the kitchen to make breakfast every moment but you could cook a full dinner if you wanted. There are also several grocery stores near by along with restaurants as well.
We also felt very safe walking around at night and despite it being near some student buildings (University of Edinburgh gym/etc) there was never any issues with noise.
Paul is extremely prompt in his replies, and ensured I had everything I needed to have a smooth check in process. He also has several manuals for all the appliances in his apartment in case there are any questions or issues on how to use things (for me it was the stove - the booklet came in handy!)
This is an excellent option for a short or long term stay in the city and I wouldn't hesitate booking again!
