Hay, we are a couple Jackie (30) & David (47) and we have a 13 year old daughter Elizabeth. I am from Scotland and Dave is from Canada. We recently bought an old, high ceiling-ed, large roomed flat in the centre of Edinburgh. When i say the centre i am not lying, outside the door is the "Usher Hall" and at the end of the street is the castle.

We LOVE it here it, It always has something going on the centre of Edinburgh is a hive of activity especially over the summer. We are renovating our house slowly room by room but have 1 pretty large room that we thought we could rent out for a bit and see how it goes. We are all really friendly and love to travel however the house is taking up all our time so we thought this would be a great way to meet people from other cultures seen as we can't travel at the moment.

The building we live in is fairly quite as the majority is offices so closed at night and weekends. Our flat has 1 bathroom, 4 bedrooms, 1 very large living room and a kitchen (basic kitchen at the moment) The room we have to rent is a large double room with either twin or double bed depending on what is needed. We also have a single room (which doubles up as our office) if someone needed the extra space/bed.

Oh we also have a VERY old Chihuahua (20 years old) who occasionally wanders round the house but mostly sleeps all day/night and is no problem to anyone. He also doesn't make a sound these days, he has forgotten how to bark!

Thanks for reading any questions please feel free to get in touch :)

About the Area

Our home is smack bang in the centre of Edinburgh City. Outside the door is an array of theaters, Bars, restaurants along with bus stops that will take you anywhere in the city and beyond. From the house it is a 5 minute walk to Edinburgh Castle and a 5 minute walk to the main shopping hub of Edinburgh (Princes Street.)

The airport bus/tram will take you to within 5 minutes of the house (princes street) or it is a 15 minute drive. As we are in the city centre parking is not ideal (very expensive so i don't advise having a car to stay here) 2 main train stations are 20 minutes walk.

Right outside the door is Lothian road which is on most bus routes so easy to travel to anywhere you want to go. Or the "west End" bus stops are around a 3 minute walk.

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.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). 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.

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.
