It was nice and chill staying at Jackie's. Room is clean and comfy, and very good location for commuting to the playhouse.

Lovely flat, well equipped with everything I needed with frequent buses to and from the city centre for the Festival Theatre. Jackie and pup Georgie were great hosts, even giving me a lift to and from free parking about a mile away which was very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend, thank you for a great week!

Many thanks Chris. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Perhaps you could contact me privately to advise what could have improved my cleanliness rating?
Had a great stay at Jackie's, location is fab, only 10/15 minute walk to the theatre. Bed was comfy and there was plenty of space to pack away clothes. Jackie was also very personable and easy to talk to ☺️

Jackie was a great host, friendly and welcoming; although she was away for a lengthy period of my stay communication was excellent throughout. Lovely cosy flat, comfortable room, beautiful friendly dog as an added bonus! About 25 minutes walk to the Festival Theatre (downhill on the way back in the evening). Would certainly recommend

Many thanks for the review Simon. I hope you are starting to feel a little better.
Jackie was an absolutely delightful host. It was lovely to spend time with her and she was also really respectful of having separate space. The flat is gorgeous. I has a really lovely stay and really enjoyed meeting Jackie and her beautiful dog. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be hoping to stay again next time I'm in Edinburgh.

Thanks Eleanor 😊
Had another lovely stay with Jackie whilst at the Playhouse. Only a 10 minute walk to the theatre and around 15-20 to the station. The bed is comfortable and there's a good shower and bath in the shared bathroom (which was never an issue timing-wise). Very adorable and usually quiet dog too, who would bark very briefly when I arrived back late at night, but only for a couple of seconds. Would gladly return again, as I already have! Thanks

I had a brilliant stay with Jackie, she was super friendly and helpful and the room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Everything was as described and had everything I needed, and it was lovely to be greeted by her beautiful dog each day. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again myself if ever touring to Edinburgh in the future!
Thank you!

Jackie is a fantastic host, and her room was perfect for my time in Edinburgh. Far enough away from the city to become disconnected, but close enough to be able to walk in and avoid the buses!
