We had a wonderful time at Richie's flat and went back for a second stay already. The flat was clean, comfortable, spacious and quiet, the bed was comfortable, the shower great, the kitchen tidy. The bedroom had extra pillows, and plenty of empty shelves, an empty wardrobe and hooks. Richie is easy-going and goes out of his way to make people feel comfortable. He knows a lot about the city, and has a wonderful sense of humor. We felt completely at home there. Right around the corner was a direct bus to the city centre, the National Museum of Scotland (great museum), the Botanical Gardens. There was plenty of good tea and muesli for breakfast. Shopping was very convenient. Morningside has a Waitrose, a M & S, and a Sainsbury within four blocks, a great cheese shop, an artisan baker, good Indian food, a pub around the corner No complaints whatsoever. Did I mention nice, big towels?
