Richard is the consummate host. He made a point of meeting us on our arrival and showing us around the place, giving us local tips and, generally, making us feel welcome.
Richard's qualities are reflected in the accommodations he provides. The apartment is a bright and tasteful retreat at the quiet end of the Royal Mile (a perfect home base for exploring all that Edinburgh has to offer the time-limited traveler. Each of the rooms is nicely appointed and the kitchen (some starter foods were provided on our arrival- another nice touch) was functional/easy-to-use. Laundry was also available just one floor down in Richard's own washer and dryer. All in all we couldn't have asked for a better stay. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks Richard!
