My house is on a direct bus route to Napier University and also Edinburgh University and Kings Buildings (with a short walk).
I live on a direct bus route to The main hospital in Edinburgh (Edinburgh Royal Infirmary) for Medical students which is approximately a 10 min bus journey from the house.
I currently work full time as a welfare officer working with children in school from the age of 5-16yrs. I also work alongside the government and police supporting young people who have criminal charges.

I stayed three nights and it was very comfortable! The room is lovely and the bed is fine! Lesley was very kind and friendly! The breakfast was delicious and the selection was large (cheese, ham, cornflakes, croissants.…) It was a real pleasure staying at her place!
Host reply
It was a pleasure having Anna as our guest! She was friendly, polite and respectful whilst staying, and exploring Edinburgh!
Thank you Anna for the chocolates! Merry Christmas!
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
