We live in the lovely community of Portobello, "Edinburgh's Seaside" (five minute walk to the beach!), quickly and easily accessible to city centre by bus day and night.
My partner and I live in the house with two spare twin-bedded/double guest rooms. We have a kitchen, spacious living room and dining area, shared bathroom and additional WC. The living room opens onto our private garden with BBQ and smoking facilities outdoors.
We do have a cat, Marvin, who lives in and outdoors.
We are easy going and sociable and you can do your own thing!

    This was a great place to stay. They treated us like old friends and they were very helpful and made us feel very much at home.
    The room was comfortable. There is a bus stop nearby, and we were able to easily get to the city center from there. We stayed with them for 3 Nights and enjoyed our stay.
    Highly recommended.

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) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). 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?

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.
