This was altogether a most pleasant stay. It is so much more convenient and more enjoyable to stay in a place like Sandra's than, for instance, booking into an hotel or guesthouse. It is also very reasonable price-wise. I am not allergic to cats. As a matter of fact I like cats and her cats seemed to like me. I was in Edinburgh on business and my meetings took place across the Meadows. So in the morning I had a nice and leisurely walk in greenery as my day began. Sandra's flat is clean, simple in a good way, and welcoming. It so happens that Sandra and I have many interests in common and so we were able to have a good conversation in the evening and a brief chat in the morning too. A friendly encounter which was not in any way intrusive. Sandra speaks excellent English and was most helpful in every way. I felt relaxed all the time I was there and not remotely crowded out. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
