Very good place to unwind after a days sightseeing as we live in a quiet area. The room has a built in wardrobe. Double bed. Flat in second floor.
Ours visitors can have access to the the sharing area as bathroom, livingroom and kitchen.
We are very pleasant to help to our guests as we know the area quite well.
On night is very quiet.
There is a good link for buses which takes 10-15 minutes to the city centre including night bus. Also bus direct to the airport and Haymarket Station. Supermarket near by open 24 hours.
For all of the guests who enjoy walking we let you know that from home you can get two different walks to the city. One is trough the Union Canal and the other is Water of Leith though the river where both ways you can have nice views and nice walk.

Mark and Ana are very nice, helpful hosts. The rooms and the bathroom were clean. Good connection by bus to the city. Thank you for the nice stay!

My friend and I had an amazing stay at Mark and Ana’s place! The flat was very cleaned when we checked-in Ana took the time to explain us everything despite the fact she was late to work. Both of them were really fast responding either before the check-in and during the stay.
The location is perfect close from buses that take 15/20 min to go to town + the bus for the airport which is just 5 min from the place.
They allowed us to leave our bags at the apartment on the day of the check out so as to finish exploring Edinburgh in better condition.
Thanks a lot for your welcoming when back to Edinburgh will definitely try to come back if possible!
We recommend 100% :)))

Ana and Mark are welcoming and quiet people. They gave me all informations and advice that I needed along my stay. Their flat is very clean, bright, peaceful and well located with easy access to the centre and the airport by bus. A special thank you to Ana for her delicious cake !

Ana y Mark are charming, they gave us excellent tips to continue our trip around Scotland. We felt right at home. And although, the location is just outside the city, it is very easy to get there. You can even walk along a pleasant path following a river. The room was clean and comfortable. We would highly recommend them as hosts if you want to spend a few days.

We had a wonderful time staying with Ana & Mark and can wholeheartedly recommend their homestay to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable room with friendly, knowledgeable hosts. The location's directly connected by bus to both the airport & the city centre, with two big supermarkets nearby if you plan to do any cooking. Their apartment's in a well-maintained block and is welcoming & cozy, (even for those not used to Scotland's cold, like us!). Everything's arranged very professionally, (towels & sheets changed regularly, a thick file of tourism information in the cupboard, good wifi access, etc), and Ana & Mark are both truly lovely people whom we enjoyed getting to know & learning about Edinburgh from. We're sure you'll enjoy your stay with them as much as we did!

Ana and Mark are very nice. Ana and I exchanged some mails before my arrival and she gave me very useful information about how to get the house and how to move around the city. The room is large and very comfortable. The apartment is in a great situation very close to the Bus stop to the city centre and the airport. Plenty of supermarkets around. All in all a great experience.

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 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.
