I was completely charmed by my one-night stay in Felicitas and John’s home. On an elegant street in the New Town, it’s perfectly situated for exploring the city. The hosts were warm and gracious, communication around my last-minute booking was clear and efficient, and the house itself was a marvel. As other reviews have mentioned, this was the family home of author Robert Louis Stevenson (a web search for "Stevenson House Edinburgh" turns up more information). Anywhere the eye wandered, there was something fascinating to look at -- paintings, family photos through the years, books by Stevenson and contemporaries, original architectural details, antique furnishings. My room was enormous and comfortable. My only quibble about the facilities: The double room's en-suite bath didn't appear to have a shower, only the massive bathtub John referred to as “the pool,” which was completely sufficient for me after a long day of wandering around the city. If I had stayed longer than one night, I may have been more inconvenienced (it may also have just be my own ignorance of Georgian plumbing technology, since I didn’t raise the issue with the hosts).
