Wonderful flat just outside the main areas
Wonderfully comfortable flat that was about a 25 minute Uber ride from Old Town. It was good to get away from the main area, and other than some very loud people on the street on Saturday night and the call of seagulls nearby, it was nice and quiet.

About the host

Hosted by Stuart Carmichael

Host profile image
I grew up in Glasgow & Edinburgh and my daughter went to Edinburgh University - for 7 years taking 2 degrees - and she now lives in Edinburgh with her partner - so we use the apartment as a 'home from home' to go and as I am now retired we often visit as we now live over 5 hours away in Sheffield in England.

Why they chose this property

The whole area is vibrant and developing despite the recession and the local people are all so friendly - we couldn't resist Leith !
It has bars and bistros and cosy pubs and 'posh' restaurants but also takeaways and local shops and national supermarkets.

What makes this property unique

The apartment is relatively new - 20 years old - and is in a quiet location with grass, trees and free parking to the front and rear.
It just seems ideal for local living or popping upto town.
