Host(s):
About us.
Let us first introduce ourselves to you. We are husband and wife team Andrew Megaughin and Annette Megaughin-Helder. You will most likely meet one or both of us on your arrival. We have a little boy called Tom.
Andrew originally comes from Kilmacolm, a small village west of Glasgow, and works as a computer systems manager for a large bank in Edinburgh. Annette comes from Haren, an equally small village in the North of The Netherlands. She moved to Edinburgh in 2005 to marry Andrew, bringing with her their two dogs, Daya and Charlie. Annette runs Edinburgh based dog training school Quiraing Dog School (Scotland) an works as an independent consultant for ampered Chef, doing cooking shows at peole's homes.
We both holidayed in self-catering accommodations all over Britain in our childhood and really loved having the freedom of being able to come and go when you want and enjoy the place and its surroundings.
So we decided that we wanted to offer that to other people and give them the chance to stay in our house and enjoy Edinburgh.
We started AJEM Self catering Edinburgh in April 2007 and currently have two self-catering apartments on Easter Road, but hope to expand that in the future.
