Lorraine is a great person. She's warm and welcoming. Her home is nice, clean and comfortable. She's always adapted to our schedule. Transportation to city center is very easy. Thanks to you, Lorraine, our first stay in Edinburgh will not be our last one.

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?
