I stayed for three weeks in Jean’s flat. The flat was exactly as described in the listing. Jean welcomed me to the flat when I arrived, and took a few minutes to show me around. The flat is in a very quiet development, within easy walking distance to the shops and restaurants in the centre of Penicuik and a short drive to Tesco.

Jean was an excellent host. The apartment was very clean. As we were staying over Christmas and the New Year, Jean had decorated. She was very efficient with her correspondence. The location of the apartment is very useful for getting the bus into Edinburgh. Penicuik has restaurants, grocery stores and a gas station. We had a car and took a number of day trips to places like St. Andrews, the East Neuk of Fife, Dunfermline, Stirling and Glasgow. Our son and his family hiked in the Pentland Hills. We also had a good walk in the grounds of Penicuik House and enjoyed a breakfast at The Craigie Hotel. The apartment is a good location to explore more than just Edinburgh. Thank you Jean for your hospitality.

Jean's flat is perfect for couples or families. Everything you need. Great cooking facilities, toys for kids, comfy beds. Location was great for us to visit our relatives in Penicuik but also easy to catch the bus into Edinburgh. This was our second stay here.
