Chris is a most congenial host. It is a real privilege to stay in a historically significant home that still manages to feel very homey. If you are a light sleeper, would be a good idea for those, like me, who aren't used to normal street noise, to bring some ear plugs. A very short walk to the Royal Botanic Gardens ... an amazing place that absolutely should not be missed. I should have sought more advice on walking through Holyrood Park and access to Arthur's Seat ... took a less than direct route and will have to leave some of the discovery for the next trip. A very friendly little place just over the bridge for lunch ... and had a very warm welcome and a fine Tuscan pizza at the little Italian place around the corner.
Chris could not possibly have made the stay simpler and more welcoming.
