Hi and thank you for looking in, at our Homestays. We live in the West End / Dean area of Edinburgh,17 min walk (0.7 mile/1.13km) from the West End of Princess Street. I am native Swedish and my boys are trilingual speaking Swedish,English and both have had French since age 3, so understand but speak less well. I also speak Danish and French. We have a little female King Charles Cavalier how is 9years old and very lovable. We are a family who love to travel, experience new cultures, love the outdoors.I was an air hostess for 17 years with SAS and worked in fashion for 15 years. We are happy to welcome you in to our home. We can offer you a cosy, yet stylish little cabin -The GuestHouse,in the back garden, neatly snuck in one corner for privacy surrounded by trees and flowers in spring/summer or a stylish small single bedroom in the main house for you to chose from. For Bedroom in the house scroll down please, as we start with the guesthouse.Some info is very different between them both. All my prices are incl cleaning and tourist taxes. Check in is after 4 pm- anytime in the Guesthouse (but after 10.30 pm you will do self check in and not access bathroom until next morning IF I have gone to bed.) Check in is between 4-9pm in the main house guest Bedroom (any arrival after 10pm will be denied and not refunded unless previously discussed) Check out is always strictly before 10am, 7 days a week THE GUESTHOUSE This is a cosy small 6.5m2 sized cabin and is totally private from our main house and you come and go as you like as your own lockable entrance, through our garden down the patio. You will be walking on grass and several steps down to the guesthouse so keep this in mind. You will wake up to bird song and the occasional squirrel running on the roof, we have an owl that lives here and who also makes himself known ever so often.We ARE in the city, but you feel like you are in the country most guests say and I agree. There is a small double bed (120cm x 190 cm),with a medium to firm mattress and I use cotton bedlinen and wash w softener.It has roll down privacy curtains (and black-out blinds you can put up up should you need it). We offer full underfloor heating, wifi, micro, nespresso machine, kettle, small sandwich toaster and a mini fridge.The mini fridge fits a 200ml milk,1 yoghurt and butter that is about it.The size is made to fit 4 cans or coke. I offer various coffees and teas, a fruit, instant soup, instant oat porridge, biscuits, cake and home baking when you arrive as a wee welcome pack. If you run out of coffee pods, there is a Sainsbury not far from mine, but plenty instant coffee so you will not run dry. There is a hairdryer and amenities offered too in the main bathroom. You have double French door that opens up to my south facing garden with several seating areas both North facing and south facing, which you are welcome to enjoy. Square table outside my lounge though is my private area. Seeing we have neighbours and guests who sleep in the guest bedroom by the gate you walk through to get to the cabin, we ask that you close gates gently behind you and be respectful with reg to noice outside that bedroom window after 10pm and before 8am. The shower and toilet is in the main house and only accessible when I am home and awake, you have no key to this, but I have 440 feedbacks on another site saying this isn't an issue, as I always try to work around my guests as long as we communicate. I have several pair of crocs for guests to use when they walk up and down to the main house should you want to borrow. There is a portaloo for midnight emergencies though in the cabin itself.I empty it each time should you ever need to use it, just tell me -guests are not allowed to do this themselves. Guests are lovely, but the only guests welcome here are you, not your friends, nor friend of friends I am afraid, parties are never allowed. -BEDROOM in the house Your single bedroom of ca 6m2 is lovely,small and south facing, it has a…
