The apartment was perfect for our group of four -- clean, good size, quiet at night but in a convenient location on the Royal Mile, close to the big sights and plenty of bars and restaurants. Richard was a wonderful host! He stocked the fridge and cabinets to get us started (e.g., milk, bread, cereal, coffee/tea, and more), which really came in handy in the mornings. There are also plenty of guides and maps available, which complemented the helpful recommendations Richard provided leading up to our trip (we enjoyed a number of them!). Richard was easy to work with, making our stay in Edinburgh that much better. We'd stay again in a heartbeat.
