    How beautiful and homey it was. The host made us feel right at home and we had a wonderful room with the freedom to move freely in and out when we needed and could enjoy breakfast in the morning.

This is a home not a bed and breakfast, guests are made to feel welcome but can come and go as they please!
I have a busy job that requires me to be out a lot but I am always available through messaging should anyone have any questions or need assistance.
This is not a city centre house, the house is directly opposite the Zoo. It is 15 mins from the airport and 15 mins to the West End of the city centre by bus. Its on a bus route and also close to a tram station if you want to go explore the Leith area.
