Helen was welcoming, showed me my room and explained what was what in a friendly and relaxed way. I had arranged to arrive in the evening at a mutually convenient time, so all I needed to do was relax, (I watched a bit of telly in a comfortable lounge) then sleep. We chatted a bit in the evening about our families, art and artists. As I needed to leave fairly early we discussed my preferred simple breakfast (muesli, fruit, water) which Helen left for me on the table in the kitchen/dining room to help myself and I let myself out. All in all it was a lovely relaxed time – a comfortable bed, a quiet room, clean and easy to use bathroom, breakfast just as I like. It may be a cliché but it was "a home from home". Most enjoyable, and a great start to a busy day working in Edinburgh.
