Annette is a wonderful host!!
It was such a privilege to be one of her first guests! We travelled together with my mom. The room that we stayed in is absolutely lovely! Spacious, light, modern, clean and very well decorated! It has en-suite modern bathroom, with a wonderful hot shower. :) the room has a fantastic view on the harbour! The location of the house is also perfect, there are buses circulating to the centre very frequently (11, 7), just 15 minute ride, so it's absolutely not a problem to get around at all. Just install the Bus&Tram app and you will be more than fine. Besides I don't think that a lot of tourists ever get to see this lovely area of Edinburgh in depth, so you will be one of the few original ones. There are great places to eat around: Old Chain Pier and right across the street a really nice bakery that Annette kindly recommended to us. I'm sure Annette will give you more suggestions, too.
Annette made us feel very warm and welcomed! She treated us with a delicious tea and sweets right on the first evening at her kitchen overlooking gorgeous sunset! The view to die for! She provided breakfast for us and variety of delicious fruits! She gave us very valuable recommendations on what to see in the city and what are the best places to eat. Any questions we had she tried to help us immediately.
Most importantly though, it was such a pleasure to get to know her, to learn about her life and all the amazing things that she's done. Her kind and warm heart and her life stories will not leave you unmoved. She has an amazing sense of humour and such a delight to be around!
We are left with such a wonderful warmth from our stay with Annette and from Scotland!
To summarise, you will not regret a single second if you book your stay in Annette's house! Thank you so so much, Annette, we are definitely coming back!
