We truly enjoyed our stay! The room was beautiful, with a wonderful view from the window and a comfortable, spacious bed — I was pleasantly surprised. Everything was well thought out: there were shampoos, earplugs, coffee, and tea. We loved the shared kitchen, stocked with cereals, milk, spreads, and toast bread, so you can help yourself and prepare breakfast or enjoy a cup of coffee. There were also board games and cozy background music, which made the atmosphere even nicer. The hosts were exceptionally friendly — they let us check in early, kept our luggage on the last day, took great care of us, chatted with us, and were ready to help with anything we needed. Highly recommended!

This place is just brilliant! Run by the lovely Lydie, it’s packed full of thoughtful touches and details that made our stay super comfortable and enjoyable! The Bruntsfield area is wonderful - a short walk away from the green area of The Meadows. The area has loads of lovely local, artisan shops and great cafes and restaurants. All just a 20 min walk from Edinburgh Castle and other sights. Just perfect place!

Room was very comfortable, had everything we needed. Bathroom was exceptionally well kept. Owner met us on arrival gave us a quick run down of the house rules and left us to it, which was appreciated. Door had a lock on it, which allowed us to have the security of locking the room on leaving for the day.
