Hi there! We are Joanne, Solene, and Luis, the passionate team behind Stays In. We were all drawn to Edinburgh’s magic – its history, charm, and vibrant local scene that pulsates with life. But during our own experiences living here, we saw a disconnect. Visitors came and enjoyed the city’s tourist attractions, but they often missed the soul – the hidden gems, the friendly faces, and the authentic experiences that make Edinburgh truly special. That’s why we created Stays In. We’re not just a property management company; we’re a bridge that connects you, our guest, with the heart of Scotland. Merging with the Local Tapestry Stays In offers a unique approach to your stay. We believe an exceptional vacation isn’t just about comfortable accommodations; it’s about immersing yourself in the local culture. Here’s how we make that difference: Curated Local Experiences: We go beyond guidebooks. Our team is passionate about Edinburgh (and beyond!), and we share that passion with you. We’ll provide personalized recommendations for hidden cafes, independent shops, and must-try local restaurants and discover the city through the eyes of a local. Partnerships with Local Businesses: Stays In isn’t just about us. We believe in the power of community, so we partner with small, independent businesses throughout the city. Enjoy exclusive discounts at local shops and restaurants, or participate in special events and workshops our partners curate. By choosing Stays In, you’re not just supporting our company; you’re contributing to the growth and vibrancy of the local scene. Events and Activities: We’ll keep you informed about upcoming events, festivals, and cultural happenings, ensuring your calendar is packed with unique experiences. From traditional ceilidhs (lively Gaelic gatherings) to whisky tastings and local art exhibits, we’ll help you discover the hidden gems that make Edinburgh and Scotland special.
