Hi Jo, Thanks for taking my flat in account to visit Edinburgh! I will explian how the parking refund method works. There is a little private car park behind the flat which is £18 aprox for 24 hours. You pay through the website. Then I will reimburse you through airbnb for your parking costs. (I've never had issues leaving my car in this car park for extended periods, but some guests opt for the Q-Park multistorey, which costs £24 per day. You're welcome to park there instead and pay the difference beyond the £16 parking reimbursement I provide). Please, let me know if you have any questions! 😊🙏🏽

The car park has never been full before and its a 2min walk from the flat 😊

If for some reason it was full. There are 2 options of multistory car parks, one opposite the flat and one under the Omni centre cinema which is next to the flat

But its never been full, even when Tailor Swift was playing and the mobile phones weren't working! 😅

Haha, I'm on holiday, it's 5pm here in Mexico 🇲🇽☺️

Haha perfect timing I just accepted the request but yes, you can choose the days you need. Those are available at the moment 😊

Haha thank you! 🍸 Looking forward to hosting you all!

Hi Jo, Thank you for booking! I’m looking forward to hosting you 😊 I really appreciate you being part of the Airbnb community and for taking care of my home during your stay 🙏🏼 Here are some details to help you navigate the flat: 🕒 Check-in Check-in is from 3pm. Please let me know your estimated arrival time. 🏡 House Rules The general rule of thumb is to treat the flat as you would your own: 👞 Shoes off inside the flat. 🚭 No smoking indoors. 🔇 Keep noise levels down after 10pm. 📦 Personal Belongings I live here most of the time, so some of my belongings will be in the flat, but there is wardrobe space in both rooms. 🚪 Doors & Keys The lockbox code will be provided before your stay. Please return the keys to the safe at check-out 🔑 🌐 WiFi Network: SmokeyWhiskey Password: peatmonster1 🌡 Heating Control the heating via the Hive thermostat in the living room. Press the boost button on top or turn the dial. 🎵 Music Sonos speakers are in the kitchen. Connect to WiFi and cast from Spotify or Apple Music to "Kitchen". 🪣 Appliances The kitchen includes an oven, stove, microwave, fridge, dishwasher & toaster – all easy to use. ☕ Coffee & Food Tea, coffee, mugs, spices & condiments are available in the kitchen. Feel free to help yourself! Any alcohol in the fridge is fair game 🍸 📽 TV Samsung Smart TV with Netflix & Prime Video – remote is on the coffee table. Let me know if you need help. 🚘 Parking Paid parking is available at a private car park on Carlton Road, right next to the flat. Let me know in advance if you need details. 🚮 Waste & Recycling Black bin = general waste. Recycling bin = no glass (leave separately). External bins are on Carlton Road (turn right twice when exiting the building). 🐶🐱 Pets Let me know if you’re bringing a pet. Pets are not allowed on sofas or beds – extra cleaning charges apply for pet hair on linen or soft furnishings. 🧡 Finally… I’m new to hosting and have put my heart into making this space as welcoming as possible. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve, I’d truly appreciate your feedback! 5⭐ reviews really help me grow on Airbnb, so if you enjoyed your stay, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could leave one. It makes a huge difference! Enjoy your stay! 🎉

Just a quick note.😊 As you probably know, I rent out the flat while I'm travelling, so I'm currently in a different time zone. I'll be available around your usual check-in time (from 3:00 pm), but if you already know you'll be arriving significantly later, or if there's anything you might need before check-in, I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know by the day before. That way I'll be sure to see your message in time and do my best to help with anything you need. Thank you, and I look forward to hosting you!

Amazing ✨️ Thanks for all the details 🙏 I am in Mexico 🇲🇽 lovely country to visit!

I will explian how the parking refund method works 😊 There is a little private car park behind the flat which is £18 aprox for 24 hours. See this link in Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jxEXfDvQKk3bYYEz9?g_st=ac You pay through the tap2park.co.uk website. Then I will reimburse you through airbnb for your parking costs.

Ahh wow, Ben Nevis! That’s impressive! And thank you! I’ll absolutely have that margarita for you 🍹 Mexico is treating me very well so far! And please, no need to worry about the time difference at all, I only mention it in case you don’t hear back from me straight away at times, But I’m always keeping a close eye on things and will get back to you as soon as I can 😊🙏

Just a quick note for your check-in tomorrow. You’ll find a lockbox on the wooden doorframe at 35 Leith Street, it’s the second one down. The code is 3108. The building entrance is right next to Maki & Ramen. Once inside, head up to the third floor for flat 11. There’s a door marked 11 & 12 that looks locked, but it isn’t , You can just go through. Check-in is from 3pm onwards unless we’ve arranged something different. If anything isn’t clear or you run into any issues, just message me.😊 P.S. You’ll also receive full instructions with photos via Airbnb on the day, this is just so you’ve got the code (3108) handy.

I know you've just checked in, but just a quick note to say that when you do checkout I need you to put the keys back in the lockbox where you found them. It's the second one from the top and the code is 3108. Also, Just a quick note to help you enjoy the flat comfortably. As the building is historic and the bathroom design is being updated little by little, please make sure to keep the shower head pointing downwards (not towards the curtain) and use moderate water pressure rather than the maximum setting. This small tip really helps keep everything working well and makes your stay more pleasant. Thank you so much! 🙏🏼😊

Oh, Happy birthday to her!! 🎉🥳✨️ So glad you are enyoing 🙏✨️ I am here for anything you need

Hi Jo, hope you've settled in nicely. Let me know if you need anything or if anything isn't upto scratch. If anything isn't 5* worthy I'd much prefer if you communicate with me and I can try and make it right 🙏🏻

Thank you so much for letting me know! It should be working 🫠 the towel rail is connected to the main heating system, so it only comes on when the heating is switched on. I really appreciate you flagging it though, I will contact a handyman to go around and have a look this week 🙏

Oh, so maybe it is just because of that 🙏😊

Just a quick reminder that we're in different time zones. 😊 Of course, I'll be available around your usual check-out time, but if you know you'll be leaving significantly earlier, or if there's anything you'd like to ask before you check out, I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know that today. That way I can make sure I'm available at the right time if needed. Thank you, and I hope you've had a lovely stay!

I hope you've had a really lovely stay ✨️ Thank you for all the details! Exactly. We just need to put the keys back in the lockbox when you checkout at 11am. It's the second top one and the code is 3108. Thanks! 🙏🏼

Hi Jo, sorry for the delay!

I will process it now

It is done ✨️ airbnb will send you an email with that. Please, let me know if that arrives ok 😊🙏

Thanks so much Jo! Airbnb should send an email with all the instructions. Did you check the spam? They send that just a couple of minutes after I make the process so it should be there 🙏

Perfect, thank you for letting me know 😊 Yes, I had understood that it can take up to 10 days, as Airbnb refunds the money back to the same card that was originally used for the booking. I’ve already processed everything on my end, and then the bank/card provider handles the final part of getting the refund back onto the card, which can sometimes take a few days. I’m glad you’ve received the receipt and that everything is in progress 😊

Hi Jo, Of course! I’ll be leaving you a 5 star review ✨😊 I usually wait until I have a chance to sit down with my laptop to write it properly, and today happens to be that day 😅 You are always welcome back home!

Hi Jo! Thanks so much for letting me know 🙏 You are amazing! It was a pleasure to hosting you all ✨️
