Wonderful experience at "home-from-home" in Edinburgh

It truly felt like a home away from home. Comfortable and cute. Clean and quiet. Great location in residential neighborhood with a small grocery store and coffee shop just across the street and a local pub a couple of blocks away. The bus stop with buses to old town, downtown, and the marina right outside. Our host was quick to respond to our questions and she provided lots of information on things to do in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh weekend

This home was exactly what we needed for our three day visit to Edinburgh. All communication was accurate and easy. The home was extremely clean, quiet and comfortable. It was very well stocked and we wanted for nothing. Good bed and lovely shower. Access to the city was easy with the bus stop right outside. Coffee shop and small supermarket across the road and a “chippy” around the corner. Lucky to have found it and would highly recommend it!

Whimsical Retreat

This was my first stop on my journey, and due to the excellent directions I was able to quickly orient myself to the city. I purposefully wanted to be away from the hustle and bustle and enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. From the welcoming red front door, cozy amenities, and little touches of welcome, I absolutely loved this whimsical sweet apartment. The owner was very prompt at answering my questions, provided excellent instructions, and went above and beyond helping me find a special personal souvenir.

All the comforts of home

Susan has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable from the comfy bed to the cozy towels and welcome shortbread, you won’t miss home. This flat has easy access to the city centre with bus access steps from your secure entry way and free on street parking at your door. It was everything we needed during our stay in Edinburgh.

Great place to stay, great host

This was a great stay. Would be happy to recommend. Only slight negative is that this place isn’t walking distance to downtown. That said, it’s a short bus ride or uber. The host was wonderful to deal with. Place was spotless upon arrival. There was a guest book with tons of info on local spots. Any questions we had were answered nearly immediately and many things were thought of in advance. I’d be happy to stay here again.

From check in to check out everything was perfect. The host communicated with us and her instructions for checking in and out were easy to follow. The apartment is right on the city bus route, has a CO OP and bakery across the street. W parked our car on the street for free and took a break from driving for two days while we explored Edinburgh. The apartment is clean, well supplied and comfortable. Highly recommend this property.

The property located in a great location to public transportation with a store just across the street. The owner went above and beyond supplying the place with everything you may possibly need and it was well maintained. She even gave all the information needed to navigate the city! We stayed for three nights and really enjoyed it.

This is a lovely little apartment in a fabulous location, just outside the city, but not far from everything. Susan was super attentive to everything a guest may need, and there were little touches that made the stay extra enjoyable. I look forward to returning to Edinburgh and staying here again.
