About the host

Hosted by Lynne

Host profile image
Hello,

I am Lynne and have lived in Edinburgh off and on for 25 years. I started self catering holidays for my own family when they were small, and loved it so much, I decided to offer it here in Edinburgh.

Why they chose this property

The Grassmarket is a great location in the Old Town of Edinburgh. Close to quirky boutiques, owner managed coffee shops and restaurants, many bars, a Farmer's Market on Saturdays and all in the shadow of our iconic Castle, the area is quite simply stunning.

What makes this property unique

The open plan living area makes the apartment very socialable and a comfortable, cosy place to start and end your busy day of sightseeing.
