I didn't spend much time at home, but Jackie was so accommodating and helpful. I arrived a little bit late due to an emergency but she and her husband waited me even though they had to go to work early next day. They were tidying the room every day so I always found my room in perfect condition when I arrive late at night. It was a very comfortable and good experience, so I definitely recommend Jackie's place for anyone looking for a place in Edinurgh.

Jackie and George's place was absolutely wonderful; The couple was such a warm and welcoming host as soon as we arrived, the bedroom was lovely, the breakfast was delicious.
Jackie was also very helpful when we were looking for information on local walks and places to go in Edinburgh.
The place is also situated in a good location, easy access by bus.
Would definitely recommend staying there!
Thank you!August 2017
Jackie and her husband gave us a very warm welcome and were perfect hosts! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay; the house is beautifully kept and spotless, the bed was large and comfortable and we felt free to come and go as we pleased. The centre of town was only a short, straightforward bus ride away and we got all the info we needed from our hosts. We look forward to visiting Edinburgh again as it's a wonderful city and would love to stay here again if poss.

Jackie and George were very warm and friendly. Their home is very clean and the bed was comfortable. They assisted me with how to get around the town and to the sites I wanted to visit. This was my first experience with staying in someone home during my vacation . Jackie made it such a good experience I would do this again. I strongly recommend her as a stay if you go to Edinburgh , Scotland. Thank you Jackie and George for a great experience .

We enjoyed our stayAugust 2016
Jackie and her husband were really welcoming and helpful. I had a very heavy suitcase and they allowed me to collect it from their house later in the day to enjoy our last day in Edinburgh. It was brilliant and well located (a short ride by bus to the centre !). We had a great time and the room was clean I would definitely recommend this homestay!

How do I book?
Contact the host about your stay - tell them a little about yourself, why you are staying and ask any questions you have about their homestay. You will be able to book immediately after sending your message.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 199 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
