A great place to stay wirh wonderful owners

Everything about both the property and the owners was fantastic. Clare and Mike's apartment was very cosy and situated perfectly for exploring Edinburgh. Communication from booking to checkout was excellent. The apartment was spotless, very nicely decorated and very comfortable - we felt at home immediately. If you want a cosy home while you're in Edinburgh, stop looking - this is the place! Next time we visit, finding accommodation will be a no-brainer (as long as you haven't booked it first!). Thanks Clare and Mike!

Lovely flat, everything we needed. Weather better than expected. Visited my son, very happy

Property was comfortable, stylish .. spotlessly clean. We were left all the basics .. milk, tea, sugar. salt and pepper, oil .. even some whisky and gin to try. Couldn't ask for more .. Clare was kind and very friendly. Definitely recommend 😊

Absolutely lovely property and great location!

My mum and I stayed at Clare's apartment over Easter weekend. We were extremely happy with the standard and cleanliness of the property, as well as the little touches - essentials like milk, butter, jam, tea, coffee, shower gel, shampoo and condition left for us to use, as well as liquor and whiskey to try. The kitchen is very well stocked, it had everything and more we needed to cook an evening meal. The property was quite with no noise from the neighbours and little road noise. There are various local supermarkets within a short walking distance and a bus route just at the end of the road, making travelling around the city a doddle. There a restaurants, cafes and bars within walking distance too. We loved staying here and would thoroughly recommend to everyone!

Lovely indeed.

Very pleasant flat, spacious, carefully decorated, close to the center of town. Clare is a very attentive host and is clearly attentive to the details and niceties which will make one's stay very pleasant. We were three -- my wife, my 14-year-old son and I -- and we stayed two nights, but would have loved to have stayed many more.

About the host

Hosted by Clare

I live in the beautiful city of Edinburgh with my husband Mike and 2 daughters, plus 2 step-children, mad Jack Russell terrier and 'lucky to still be alive' hamster.
Love New Zealand, Spain, Italy, New York and the Western Highlands of Scotland. We've been renting our apartment since June 2016 and so far guests seem to love our flat.

Why they chose this property

In a fabulous, central location, close to all the sights of Edinburgh. I grew up half a mile away so know the area very well.

What makes this property unique

Sunny, cosy and very comfortable. An opportunity to experience tenement living in a traditional old Edinburgh property. Lots to do, close to the city centre but 2 minutes walk to the peaceful green expanse of the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links. Our neighbours have been very welcoming and helpful to our guests - not always the case in busy cities!
