It's probably not too difficult to find nice places to stay in Edinburgh, but I expect it's much harder to find places with hosts as thoughtful as Richard. His attention to detail really made our stay in Edinburgh even better than we expected. We greatly appreciated his friendly welcome, the well-stocked kitchen (bread, jam, cereals, milk, and eggs), and the comfortable and clean apartment. The location was great and we had a great stay. I don't think you can go wrong staying at Richard's place!
