I stayed with Catherine for a total of 1 month as a start of my life in Edinburgh. I could not have asked for a better way to settle in to the new city!
Catherine goes above and beyond to ensure you are comfortable during your stay with thoughtful little touches- tea/coffee, soap/shampoo/conditioner, private room lock, luxurious bed/duvet, amazingly crisp humungous towels and full access to the kitchen. Her place is always so warm and cosy - a lovely escape from the Scottish weather outside. It is also extremely quiet for an excellent nights sleep.
There are buses easily accessible to every corner of the city - usually one bus will take you within 5-15 mins walk to your destination. Massive Morrisons 15min walk away and convenience stores/small takeaway shops 5mins away. I could not recommend her home more to anyone looking to tuck away somewhere cosy and quiet within 20mins bus to the city.
Catherine and I became very good friends during the time together with lots of chats about her home decor projects and my house-hunting/new social life adventures, cooking together and pampering our furry visitor. She also gave me lots of privacy if I just felt like lounging alone in my room.
I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and hospitality Catherine! Will definitely catch up again during my stay in Edinburgh :)
