Cosy family home in the South of Edinburgh, next to the bus stop and 25 minutes from the city centre by bus. Less than ten minutes walk to supermarket & various shops, restaurants & a burn (river) and pond nearby which makes you feel like you’re in the countryside. We have a busy family life, a dog and a cat! Parking space available and very close to the motorway if you want to go travelling across Scotland. Bikes available to borrow and there are great cycle paths all around. Free Wi-Fi.

About the Area
Our house is located in the south side of edinburgh in a quiet and safe neighbourhood that is only 5 years old. Only 25 minutes by bus to the city but a ten minute walk to lots of shops and restaurants. Very good cycle network nearby and lovely nature walks too, so the best of both worlds. Just behind our house is a hill from which you can see the castle, Arthur’s seat & the Pentlands!

Monica and her family were all wonderful during my stay. The house is close to a reliable bus route and on a quiet street. The room was clean and comfortable as well. Would gladly recommend this stay for anyone!

My stay with Monica and her family was simply amazing from start to finish! She and her family are all incredibly welcoming and caring, so that I quickly felt right at home. The room/house is really nice and cozy too and has everything you need. I can only warmly recommend staying with Monica, I had a wonderful time in Edinburgh there!

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) 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.
