Location, location, location. You try to do all the research you can before traveling but ya really never know what you’ll get. And I lucked out w Julie-Ann’s. She is in what is considered “the pink triangle” of Edinburgh meaning by a lot of gay bars/drag shows- which was a dream for this girl.
If that’s not your scene, don’t worry - there’s plenty of more fun around her area. It really was an exceptional location, esp for a solo female traveler.
Julie-Ann only crossed paths once and a while since I was out and about but when we did, she offered me her homemade butterscotch vodka and we ended up having a fabulous night on the town meeting her family, friends and making new ones too.
Love having an Airbnb w some pets around to make myself feel at home too. Thanks for the hospitality Julie-Ann :)
