Catherine is a warm host. The place is tidy and very lovingly arranged, there were apples and easy peel mandarins as well as fresh milk on arrival which is right up my alley considering we didn't need to rush to the nearest newsagent for a pint of milk for our morning tea. The bed was very comfortable to sleep in and the kitchen was a pleasure to use. I consider the quality of sleep very important when it comes to travelling so to my pleasant surprise it was peacefully quiet in the bedroom. My mother who was travelling and staying with me at the time commented that it was like walking into an interior design magazine spread so this definitely made our trip to Edinburgh a lot more special. I would personally definitely recommend Catherine's place to anyone I know because it was worth it.
