About the host
Hosted by Jean MacMillan
I bought this property new in 1996 and it has been my home for the past 18 years. My circumstances have changed and I now live in Edinburgh.. I hope that visitors to my apartment will enjoy staying there as much as I did.
Why they chose this property
Close to Edinburgh with great transport links. Also lots of nice walks nearby and a quiet family friendly neighbourhood
It has just been voted the cleanest town in Scotland and the second cleanest town in the U.K.
