My family and I had a great time at this wonderful apartment. The location is ideal, the views are fantastic, and it felt like home. The location puts you right in the midst of all there is to see and do in Edinburgh, yet the home itself is quite peaceful. We could not get over all you could see from these upper-floor windows, looking over various parts and sites of the city. My family immediately felt like we were in a real home when we stayed here, feeling content to relax in this comfortable apartment after a busy day. Best of all, Richard is an excellent host. Just like other travelers have commented, his class in leaving food (bread, eggs, milk, etc) makes a travel day/next morning so much easier. I cannot say how many times my wife and I would look at each other and say, "Can you believe how great this place is?" I would not hesitate to rent Richard's apartment again in the future.
