Staying at Susan and Alans family home was for me, like stepping back to the original ethos of airbnb. Made to feel welcome with warm smiles and friendly conversation, encouraged to make yourself at home but also with your private room offering independence and retreat when required. They really have got the balance right. It was so nice to get to know Susan and Alan and their two teenage children. I could not have been happier with my choice of stay. I will definitley be staying there anytime i can when i visit Balerno
