    Nous avons passé une semaine chez Aleksandra. Elle nous a très bien accueilli et la chambre et la salle de bain étaient confortable et de bonne taille. Le petit déjeuner fourni avec le prix était de qualité et avec du choix. Thank you very much for your welcome Aleksandra.

    Aleksandra was great and really helpful! The room and the bathroom were super-clean. The house was located in a nice area, with a bus stop just outside. I totally recommend a stay there.

    Aleksandra and Mike were wonderful, friendly, hosts with a beautiful home. The room was cosy and comfortable, top rate bathroom facilities also.
    We were able to park easily outside the house and there is a bus stop just across the road that took us into the city centre.
    I would recommend Aleksandra and Mike as hosts and a convenient location to travel to the centre of Edinburgh.

    Worst guest experience ever. He didn’t respect our house rules at all. Left cooker on when no one at home when our web clearly saying NO cooking for guest.
    Room left in terrible mess! Never seen anything like.
    He didn’t have money to pay for full stay or buy dinner for himself.
    Demanded food on us.

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?

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?
