About the host
Hosted by Nikki Reid
Hi - I am Nikki, I am from the UK but I live mostly overseas. In the winter I run a ski chalet rental in the resort of Avoriaz in the French Alps - a fabulous car free resort high up at 1800 meters approximately half way between Geneva and Chamonix and in the summer we love to sail and visit Phuket where we also have a rental villa. I have 4 kids (all now all grown up) that spent their childhood on the ski slopes in France or the beaches of Phuket. I bought my apartment in Edinburgh when my daughter attended the university for 4 years. I purchased it in 2016 in its original condition, as accommodation in the historic centre is difficult to come by and I spent a year gutting it and fully modernising and refurbishing it into a bright spacious comfortable apartment. I love renting properties and meeting people from all over the world. I look forward to your visit.
