Mike's place was in an excellent location in the heart of the city. We left our car in the garage (which was a great bonus, as parking in Edinburgh is very expensive), and walked to all the attractions within the city. Mike's guest book was also very handy at recommending things to do around the area, and he also gave some good restaurant recommendations. We had an amazing meal in La Piazza, which was a 2 minute walk away.
The fire was also lovely and warm, and made the home feel really cosy. Thank you Mike :)
