This basement apartment on the Meadows is a great place to stay in Edinburgh. There is a small grocery store less than a block away that is open every day until 11. Pubs and restaurants abound in Bruntsfield just across the links. I was visiting my son who attends Edinburgh University and the campus is just across the Meadows. It is also only a short walk to City Center, the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle.
The apartment has one large bedroom and a fold-out futon in the front living room. My daughter found the futon very comfortable. The front room is equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, toaster, sink, and hot pot. Richard left us coffee, milk, a bottle of wine and fixings and directions for making Scottish porridge.
A toilet room and a great shower room are located off the long hall.
The apartment is full of books and games and interesting family art. Richard greeted us upon arrival and made sure we were all settled but was an unintrusive host.
I would definitely stay at Richard's again!
