Besides the fact that Edinburgh is a beautiful city to visit, that Scottish people are extremely lovely and that even the sun was shining last week, I would really recommend Richie's house to spend a great time in Edinburgh!
Unfortunately, we did not spend much time together because Richie travelled in Ireland for the weekend, but this little time was enough to promote Richie as a good, caring and attentive host. It is impossible not to feel at home in Richie's apartment: it is well-kept and ordered, as you can see in the pictures ;-)
The location is good: not too far from the centre and in a really cute environment. Buses go all the time to the city centre; there are supermarkets and restaurants closeby.
I would personally recommend Richie's company and Richie's home for your future trip to Edinburgh!
