About this property

This is a family home, with books, a small library and an eclectic art collection.
The dining room can host at least 8 people and is attached to a fully-equipped kitchen, which is attached to a South-facing back garden, with wonderful light all day, outdoor seating (we love for breakfasts).

Our home is on a quiet street facing the amazing Queen's Park and Arthur's Seat. It is just a few minutes walk to numerous shops, restaurants, pubs and public transport links to the city centre. It take about 20 minutes to walk to Waverly train station, Princess Street, and Edinburgh Castle. It is around 10 minutes walk to the University where many of the Edinburgh Fringe events take place.

Wonderful Experience

We were so fortunate to have found this home. We really enjoyed our stay. The location was on a very quiet street and was about a 20 minute walk from many of the major tourist sites. We enjoyed cooking some of our meals in the kitchen which had all of the equipment that we needed. The home was clean, comfortable and cozy and Magnus was very responsive and helpful.

Wonderful Edinburgh Adventure

We had the most wonderful time in Edinburgh—4 perfect days staying at on the edge of Holyrood park near the distillery. This home is exactly as billed, very cozy yet spacious, art everywhere including the door knocker and drawer handles. All lovingly done. The location is perfect, whether you want to hike to Arthur’s seat out the front door or go exploring in the city. Our host Magnus was easy to communicate with and instructions were very clear. Would highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Mr Murray

Hi, I'm Magnus, I love being in Edinburgh but I mostly work overseas supporting refugees and people displaced by disasters and conflict. I like to be a host because we love our home and would like to share when we are not there (when out on mission - this year supporting NW Syria). I like to garden, hike and swim in and around Edinburgh - so that can include walking over Arthur's Seat to the beach at Portobello for a quick cold swim!

Why they chose this property

I like the area where we live because we are so close to nature in front and vibrant city vibe just a few minutes walk away. I can walk to the train station and use buses to get anywhere in the city.

What makes this property unique

I have collected furniture and carpets from around the world and a diverse, eclectic selection of art which we hope you enjoy. The back garden is a real sun trap. We have built a nice wooden table there and there are seats for quite a few people, we think this really makes this property unique. In summer there is often light there till quite late, so it's nice to relax and eat there in the evening. We also enjoy having breakfast there in the morning sun.
