Nicci was an amazing host, always prompt in replies via email and also a very warm welcome when we reached there, though it was rather late in the evening(21:30pm). We were also very happy with the special attention given to our requirement of having a vegetarian breakfast, which she very carefully selected for us to meet our needs. Cereals, eggless bread etc etc it was very heart warming. All of our group felt her warmth and kindness the minute we met her, it was her gentle and carefree way of explaining the little details of the home -her home- that we were going to stay in...it was indeed a warm welcome...that immediately gave us a happy and good feeling about our new found accommodation- a home full of happiness and warmth. Also the little guidelines that she had intricately prepared-such as maps that showed how to get around on buses, were such a help! It really made our stay in Edinburgh extra special. Also with the fact that we had all previously only stayed in hotels in various countries, this was a whole new exciting and fun experience, where our group could gather together at the dining table and share our thoughts and adventures throughout the day. Even when we left, Nicci was kind enough to assist us in arranging our transportation to the Edinburgh, Waverly train station-as none of us had actually opened our roaming services on our mobiles. The taxi's arrived on time and indeed it was a wonderful stay @ Nicci's warm home-it's a memorable experience that we definitely would recommend anyone to try out for themselves! and why not at 52, Morningside Drive! The special points about the accommodation itself were as follows 1. Located very close to the main city-short 5 minute walk to the main road gave you access to the buses that were headed towards the main city attractions(Royal Mile, Arthur's seat etc) 2. The 5 minute walk to the main road gave us access to ample restaurants and food choices, which we could order takeaway and delivered to our doorstep. Furthermore just a little down the road was a supermarket and we could get our basic groceries for the 3 night/4 day stay in Edinburgh 3. The home itself was extremely beautiful and exactly as shown in the photos- it was spacious and accommodated the 8 of us quite easily and comfortably with even extra space for hanging out. 5. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, and yet basics are necessary such as a toaster/kettle and a refrigerator filled with goodies-when on a holiday(seriously who wants to cook!!) 6. There was access to free wifi-that allowed communication through email and other free chats! Contacting Nicci through email was such an easy thing to do! There is so much more to say and yet so very little space to share it..best thing is go and experience itThank you Nicci-appreciate your kindness and your home is absolutely beautiful-and it was a pleasure to stay...
