We felt immediately at home upon entering Catherine's flat. She was unable to greet us but she left a thorough note with all of the information we needed. The bedroom was large and wonderful, with a beautiful view of the street. The bed was very comfortable and had amazing sheets/pillows. The flat was wonderfully situated walking distance from the botanic gardens and the city centre in a beautiful neighbourhood. Once we met Catherine, we found her to be an extremely lovely person. Overall, we highly recommend Catherine as your host in the breathtaking city of Edinburgh.
