We had a great stay at Ricky’s! He was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with—before, during, and after our stay. He gave us great tips on what to do in Edinburgh, and helped us figure out where to store our luggage since we got into town long before check in time (note: the storage lockers at the bus station are what we used, and it worked out very well for us).
Check in was simple and easy, and we found the apartment clean and well prepared for us. The room was decent sized (we had two adults staying in the room). We had plenty of space to spread out (our bodies and all of our luggage)!
There are places to explore and to eat/drink well within walking distance of the apartment. We walked to the city center one day which was very doable (we even did it with luggage). However, easiest access to the city center was by bus. Stops right outside the apartment will take you to the center quickly and easily.
I would definitely recommend staying at Ricky’s. I just wish we had been able to spend more time there!
