You'll enjoy a warm welcome, a comfortable family home and a pretty garden you can sit in (when we've got clement weather). I've been hosting students from all over the world since 2013. It's just me and my little brown dog, Tavish, for the moment. My son returns from Uni late June and will live at home until November when he's off to work in the ski season. We're a friendly household, and love to hear about you, your family and culture, as well as make sure you get the very best out of your stay whilst in Edinburgh and Scotland.
We live a short walk and bus ride to Edinburgh city centre, and a longer but scenic walk to Cramond Village, where there is an island, beach, river walks. I'm keen to share how to get around (very easy) as well as places of interest (local as well as further afield), there’s so much to do and see in this beautiful city and the rest of Scotland. I've been awarded the 'Good to Go' Scotland certificate. I love to cook (all types of recipes from all over the world) so I am happy provide dinner at an extra cost if you like - just ask me - but there are many fabulous restaurants (catering for all pockets) in the city you might want to try. Plus you'll get access to the kitchen if you prefer to cook yourself. We look forward to welcoming you to our home.

Über die Gegend
Barton is a quiet family area with a couple of small supermarkets, coffee shops, post office, pharmacy, bakers and restaurant, with close by leisure centre. There's a woodland walk to Davidson Mains park, and 20 mins from Cramond, with beautiful walks along the river and beach. You can even visit Cramond Island if you get your timing right. There's plenty of buses for a 20 min bus ride into the centre of the city, and ones that can to take you up north (to paces like St Andrews, Ellie, Dundee) if you want to see a little more than just Edinburgh.

I had the best time staying in Jenni’s home for the past month. She really made me feel comfortable staying in Edinburgh for the first time in my life. For my first night she cooked me dinner which relieved some stress of getting food right after landing in the Edinburgh airport. Don’t be surprised if you are offered wine, snacks, dinners throughout your stay, Jenni is overly generous so make sure to reciprocate back :) When I come back and visit Edinburgh again for a short term/long term stay I will stay with Jenni again!

Thank you so much Norah. It was lovely having you to stay and learning about your culture. The coffee and chocolate was especially tasty!

We stayed at Jenni's for 8 days and couldn't have imagined a nicer place. She was warm, always helpful and a super cake baker. She also had great ideas and tips for things to do. Her dog Tavish is super sweet and the two of them together made our holiday extra special. We would love to come again! Thank you for that!
