Our family had the most wonderful weeklong stay at Roxanna’s lovely house! It was PERFECT in every way: generous host with excellent communication, extremely comfortable and well-stocked home, and tranquil location yet easily accessible to Edinburgh’s city center. We were in Edinburgh visiting dear friends of ours, and when their family would come over to Roxanna’s garden they said they felt all their cares wash away. Between us we had 5 young children who thoroughly enjoyed the backyard play spaces as well as the games and toys Roxanna generously left for our use. Pre-trip communication was great and check in was super easy. Roxanna has written clear instructions in the household guidebook as well as given lovely suggestions for local eateries and entertainment. The house is spacious, peaceful and tastefully furnished, kitchen is well-supplied for cooking, beds are super comfy with blackout curtains in rooms, and shower water pressure is very strong (all items high on my list!). Though this is their family home, Roxanna hit the sweet spot of removing enough of their personal items to give their guests space to settle in and make it their own (empty closets and drawers) yet generously leaving items that make it feel like you’re “at home” with your usual luxuries and supplies, which truly sets this house apart from others that are solely used for Airbnb. The backyard was our favorite place to hang out, with a beautiful outdoor dining table and a fire pit that we used several times. We had rented a car but hardly used it because it was often easier to hop on the bus into town just a few steps from the front door. And morning jogs down to the path at Crammond Beach (5-10 mins from the front door) were awesome. Roxanna was also easily reachable during our stay, and when one small issue arose she was on it, even generously deciding to refund us for the very slight inconvenience, again setting this experience in a class of its own. We felt spoiled at Roxanna’s and now we can hope our future airbnbs will be this great. Thank you Roxanna and family for sharing your home!
