Patsy,s place is a wonderful place to stay. John, was very welcoming. He met us at the house and gave a tour of the house which is very spacious. There is a queen size bed in the bedroom and a comfortable couch that turns into a bed in the living room. There is books and movies for you to browse and a cupboard with spices and cereal. The pots and pans are well taken care of and the dishes could be used for a nice family meal. A definite bonus is the washing machine which is perfect for travelers with limited clothes who would love clean clothes. The communication was great too. A few Days before coming they asked us when we were coming and gave us very specific directions to the house, (which is two minutes from the Royal Mile). John met us at the house and showed us the house, and then asked our plans for our trip. He offered suggestions and shared stories about his kids doing things. When emailing questions they were quick to answer.
