Staying at David's house is just like staying at home with a very nice family member! We communicated thoroughly regarding how to get there and how to travel around and David provided us very valuable and detailed information esp. on the places to meet my 12-year-old son's interests. His lovely garden attracted us most: we picked applies from his apple tree and my son had a happy gardening time with David together, as well as playing chess with him. David also provided us lovely breakfast and we had a lovely breakfast conversation too. His stories impressed us. If you'd like to have a real family life at Edinburgh, I strongly recommend David's room.
