Richie's flat is very cozy and Morningside is a lovely area of Edinburgh. There are plenty of nice cafés, shops and buses that take you straight to the city center. One can also walk to the city in a very pleasant walk through the beautiful green area of the Meadows.
Richie is a very cool, easygoing host. He is always glad to help if you need some tips or info but he knows when to leave you on your own if you prefer to be more independent.
I felt at home at Richie's and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh.
