To start off, Fiona's place is one of the best houses I have ever visited, hands down.
Fiona herself is a gem of a person. Communication from her was always prompt and quick. She waited around 2 hours more than our scheduled arrival time because we were late and we reached at 12 in the night. She still welcomed us with a smile on her face, showed us around the place and gave us a warm Scottish hospitality (scotch really!) . She really did give her best to make us feel at home and we are really grateful for her kind gesture. She gave us great tips for going around the city and other local suggestions which really did help us a lot. She left wafers, juice, Scottish tea, milk in the fridge and every breakfast cereals which was really thoughtful of her. She even gave us a lift to the city center as we were too drunk to drive our own car home the previous night.
Coming to her house, it's fabulous. The bed rooms are warm and cozy and fabulously decorated. You will find all sorts of pictures and shots of Scotland hanging on the walls which really gives a good sensation when you are on a trip. There is city roaming guides in multiple languages which goes to show how thoughtful she is. There's even a small skylight in the room - imagine waking up looking at the sky. It was brilliant. There's a ensuite with the bedrooms as well. Downstairs there is the game room which is a spectacular room to be honest . We really had fun playing pool, pinball and jukebox. She has all sorts of collection of rock music and any rock lovers will find it very interesting. The sofa was warm and cozy as well and did give us a good night's sleep. Adjoining the games room is her living room which is also fabulously decorated. Outside she has a well kept garden as well.
There's a bigger washroom downstairs which has a steam room incase you are tired.
She gave us our privacy and we were able to move at our own will. Everything was brilliant.
It's just a 15 mins drive to the heart of the city from her house.
All in all it is a fabulous place to stay. Don't think twice before selecting it. You will love her and the place.
Thanks Fiona for the wonderful stay. Will see you the next time I am in Edinburgh.
P. S. - Love to Sparky
