Richie is a very laid-back host, and gave us a clean and comfy room! Getting to the apartment was a bit tricky from the train station, as the numbered bus stops tend to change quite frequently around the train station area. Therefore, we took a cab from outside the train station for our initial visit to the apartment - reasonable amount, and was just the easiest way until we were better acquainted with the area. Otherwise, the Morningside neighborhood has all the amenities you need, and is about a 15 minute ride into central Edinburgh. Not bad! I would definitely recommend Richie, as he was nice enough to give us maps and local recommendations upon our arrival.
