Richard was an amazing host who ensured any need either big or small was catered to before I arrived. His home is impeccably clean and the bed and pillows would have to be the most comfortable of my trip so far! Richards place is so conveniently located to Holyrood Park and Castle along with the main shopping district which really was the best of both worlds. (A little bit of walking is required on your part but not too much). Excellent communication throughout my stay which I really appreciated as a directionally challenged person. :-) Orson the french bulldog is a super little guy with an awesome personality and loves any attention given. I highly recommend Richards place if you want to taste historic Edinburgh along with the modern while staying with a great host. Thanks for a wonderful first visit to Edinburgh Richard.
