"Loveliest landlords, kind, caring and always happy to help...”

“I’ve really enjoyed living in this room for the past year. The room is bright, comfortable, has a lovely view, a spacious wardrobe, and a very comfortable double bed! The house is always clean, well looked after, and has everything you need. Sandra and Alan are the loveliest landlords, kind, caring and always happy to help. The location is excellent as well, with both bus and tram stops just a short walk away, and the neighbourhood is beautiful, peaceful, and a lovely place to live. I’me truly grateful for my time here and would happily recommend this room to anyone looking for a comfortable home with wonderful landlords.

"Nothing short of amazing — made to feel very welcome from day one..."

“I moved from London to Edinburgh for a job opportunity and rented a room with Sandra and Alan for around 9 months before moving back.

“My experience was nothing short of amazing — I was made to feel very welcome and comfortable from day one. The room I stayed in was spacious and bright, with a decent amount of storage. The rest of the house was always clean, well-cared for, and beautifully decorated — a reflection of the work Sandra and Alan put into the interior design.

The open kitchen added to the spacious feel of the home, with plenty of counter space, and was well-equipped with everything I needed for daily cooking, which I was generously allowed to use.

From the moment I moved in, Sandra and Alan were easy to communicate with and quick to help me settle in — offering advice, local tips, and suggestions for places to visit as well. I always felt like I had my own space but could also have a chat or interact freely whenever we saw each other.

I’m glad I found such a great place with a warm and welcoming family during a busy period of life — I’d happily recommend staying here to anyone!"

"Spacious, fully furnished and conveniently located..."

“Sandra, Alan, Hazel and Finn are a lovely family and I have enjoyed my 10-month stay with them very much. The house is very comfortable and conveniently located, in a quiet and lovely neighbourhood, very easily reachable via public transportation. The bedroom is spacious and fully furnished - including a very comfortable bed. I would happily stay with them again in the future myself and can only recommend them!
-Pauline Brandt, July 2024

"One of the best and most memorable renting experiences..."

“My name is Anam and I am a junior doctor working in the NHS. I have stayed with Alan and Sandra as a lodger for 8 months and it has been one of the best and most memorable renting experiences for me. They are a constant source of kindness, warmth and friendliness, who go above and beyond. They always ensured a quiet environment around the house after my nightshifts and long on-call shifts which made such a positive impact on my job, asked me about my day, gave me excellent recommendations for activities around Edinburgh and Scotland and remembered to include me in the seasonal festivities. I will fondly remember the good kitchen chats on every topic under the sun and the fact that they lent a listening ear and very wise solutions every time I asked them. In these eight months, I have felt like a part of this lovely family and though I feel very sad to be leaving this place I have come to know as home, I look forward to coming back to Edinburgh and renting again with them. Would recommend renting this place if you want a homely happy experience!

"The house effortlessly runs itself..."

“Sandra and Alan are warm and welcoming, and also chilled and relaxed. The house is spacious, clean and effortlessly runs itself (thanks to the magic cleaning fairies). The garden is south facing and in the warm weather a welcome space after work. The bed in my room is soooo comfortable. The bathroom has a great shower and bath. Wonderful location: easy access to tram and buses and half way between Town and the airport. Sorry to be moving on, but such is the life of an IT contractor”. - -Sarah, June 2018
