We had a very pleasant stay at Richard's home. He is a thorough gentleman and made us feel very comfortable as his guests.
Richard has a well equipped modern apartment with free access to his kitchen, which he shares with his guests. A few days before our arrival, he checked with us if we had any special requirements for breakfast so that he could stock up on appropriate provisions - which we think was very thoughtful of him!
Even when he wasn't at home, during our stay, he kept in touch with us and we always had access to him in case of any requirement.
His place is walkable distance to Carlton hill, Arthur's seat and Prince's Street etc. I would recommend Richard's place to anyone who is looking for a very comfortable stay in Edinburgh.
