Susan is an exceptional host, prompt answers when needed, clear communication, and lovely to deal with. There are instructions for everything with labels making it super easy, the apartment is gorgeous, and the location is fantastic - close enough to the tourist areas, but far enough where it’s quiet and residential when you come back for the night. If/when I come back to Scotland, I would 1000% book here again for location, amenities, and the host

This was an amazing stay! The hospitality and the communication was fantastic. The place is near a bus stop so we did not have to navigate driving in Edinburgh. There’s a store across the street. It was quiet. And beautiful. But most of all the host was incredible!

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.
