    Great accommodation - Catherine is a superb hostess. Very helpful and organised. The property is situated in a quiet neighbourhood. I only stayed the one night and used a taxi to get me to the airport. I didn’t have time to explore public transport etc. My visit coincided with the start of the Edinburgh Festival when accommodation is at a premium. Newhaven Harbour is 20-30 minutes walk away. I felt it was very good value for money. Miriam Dolphin

    What a hidden gem this place is in Edinburgh! Catherine is a wonderful host and the place is stunning. There are two stunning rooms in her place with a shared bathroom, kitchen area and sitting room. This is not a bed and breakfast or a hotel. No food is available but there are shops and a supermarket very close by. I purchased some pasta pots and sandwiches and put them in the fridge. Parking is free and you just need to hop on a bus (9 and 27 I used) to the city centre. I will be back. Thank you Catherine for the chats and looking after me.

    There was nothing to wish I took objection. It is not a fancy place and does not pretend or need to be.

    I liked everything. This is a comfortable home stay. It is pleasant and aesthetic, and fit my needs well. I would not hesitate to stay again. I like the quiet neighborhood. It is not far from the bus to the airport and feels safe. This box asked me about breakfast, which was N.A.--which was just fine. Coffee and tea fixings provided.

    Very nice room in a very nice flat, it's really cosy, clean, airy and fresh. Katherine is a great host, very friendly and ready to help. She offers coffee, tea and biscuits. :) The place is very close to the waterfront, some stores and bus stops to and from the city and the airport.

    Parking is a bit sketchy but this wouldn't stop me from staying again.

    Communication by Catherine was great, gave clear instructions and a thoughtful host. The house itself is really beautiful, very clean, cosy, organised and the bed and pillows are super comfy. Nice quiet neighbourhood, 10 minute drive to Usher Hall. Great price for Edinburgh too.

    Only staying one evening. Had a flight to catch the next day from the nearby airport.

    Fantastic place to stay & would highly recommend when visiting Scotland's 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 famous capital Edinburgh. Host Catherine so warm & welcoming & great local knowledge regarding transportation, places to visit/eat etc. Nothing to much trouble, great communication & such a lovely quiet neighbourhood yet close to the big city & also so close to a fantastic seafront. Pack your walking boots 🙂 Room was great value, a decent size & so relaxing. Bed so comfortable. Shower was lovely, the heated towel rails brilliant. Would score peace in the city 11 outta 10... above & beyond it's that good. Coffee & biscuits a nice way to start your sightseeing. So pleased that I chose to stay here 🙂

    The stay was fantastic. No complaints.

    Catherine was the best host ever. She lives upstairs so we were a guest in her own house which was very special. Catherine has put a lot of love into the styling and decorating of the accommodation and has so many useful tips (where to eat, places to visit etc). She is very easy to get on with, so we had lots of lovely conversations. The street is exceptionally quiet, and the beds are very comfy so you will definitely get a good night's sleep. Tea, coffee and biscuits were available at all times :)
