Hi Guys!
Welcome to my much loved and unique traditional tenement home of 25 years. It's situated in a leafy quiet 1-way residential street with convenient frequent public transport connections to Edinburgh Airport, rail and bus stations, and Murrayfield Stadium. The City Centre and main attractions are just 10 minutes away by bus or tram or an easy 25 minute walk. The airport tram will bring you to within a trolley-bag friendly 5min walk of the flat too - less than an hour door-to-door!
My place is ideally suited for the single traveler, but there is room for 2 in the small and cosy 4' (1.2m) Queen bed... and 1 bedside table! If visiting as a couple then please bear this in mind before you request to book.
You will have exclusive use of the generously proportioned and quiet bedroom with modern en-suite shower. We'll share the separate WC, kitchen and comfortably cosy living room. There's a wide choice of breakfast and all-day dining available locally although cereals, muesli, pastries, fruit and beverages are, of course, always to hand. With prior notice you can make use of the kitchen too if you'd sooner eat in than out - and there's a large Tesco supermarket just round the corner!
Your sharing my home is part of your holiday homestay experience. It's your 24/7 base to come and go and explore from as you will, or a peaceful oasis to just cocoon with your feet up and read, relax, share some 'life tales' and to enjoy some genuine friendly company and hospitality.
I'm happy to answer any further questions - especially if there's 2 of you - but check all the info in the description, amenities, photos and my profile 1st of all - I don't think I've missed anything!

Within a 5-10 minute easy walk there are the colourful vibrant bars and all-day eateries of Leith Walk and Easter Road - everything from breakfast bakeries and cosy cafes to contemporary Michelin Fine Dining, authentic pizza, Tapas, Asian and traditional home fare. There's also a wealth of local and very 'Gay-friendly' Bars - some of whom host great free Live music! Edinurgh's Pink Triangle of Gay venues and sauna are a 15-20 min walk away or 10 mins by public transport. A wide variety of Gyms and pools are within 5-15mins away too. The flat is an easy and interesting 25min stroll to Princes Street, historic Holyrood, The Royal Mile and our tremendous free National Museums, Galleries and Cultural venues. 10 mins by foot in the other direction is the award winning waterside hospitality of Leith's Shore District. Even the seaside is less than a 30 minute walk away - or 10 minutes by bus!
I'd also be happy to share with you my passion and enthusiasm for Edinburgh, it's remarkable surroundings, some hidden secret places and by arrangement (for a couple of beers and some food while we're out), take time to guide you around and give you an insiders perspective on some of it's less well known but lovely spots!
No matter what the season, Leith itself is a photographers paradise - around every corner there's something magical and surprising, unique and thought provoking. It's also a creative's heaven with a comprehensive array of independent galleries, shops and accessible working studios. Come share and enjoy!
