My home offers the comfort and warmth of a lived-in space, not a commercial B&B. Guests are welcomed like friends, with the freedom to come and go as they please. The décor blends contemporary style with cosy touches, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere. You’ll find thoughtful amenities throughout, including high-quality linens, complimentary teas, coffees and breakfast, WiFi, and a smart TV for relaxing evenings in. I am always happy to offer local recommendations or help with anything you might need, but also fully respect your privacy and independence, so your stay can be as social or as quiet as you wish. It’s all about making you feel at home, at your own pace.
Welcome! I love hosting because it gives me the chance to share a bit of Edinburgh with people from all over the world. While I have a busy job that keeps me out and about during the day, I’m always just a message away if you need anything, whether it’s help with the house or tips on the best places to visit, eat, or explore. I’m passionate about travel, local history, and discovering hidden gems in the city, and I’m always happy to pass on recommendations to make your stay extra special.
Guests love the location for its balance of peaceful surroundings and easy access to the city. The house is directly opposite the famous Edinburgh Zoo, perfect if you want to enjoy a leisurely visit. I am just 15 minutes from the airport and around 15 minutes by bus to the vibrant West End of the city centre, home to theatres, shops, and great dining. The property is well connected, with a bus stop nearby and a tram station within walking distance, offering a direct route to Leith, a buzzing waterfront district known for its bars, restaurants, and the Royal Yacht Britannia. It’s a great base to explore both the iconic landmarks and local hidden gems Edinburgh has to offer.
