🌟Large living/dining room with ample seating (two sofas, an armchair and a dining table with 4 chairs) and TV with freeview and Netflix.

🌟Separate kitchen with breakfast bar, dishwasher, washing machine, oven, microwave, freidge freezer.

🌟Bathroom with shower - instant hot water from the combi boiler

🌟Main bedroom (double bed)

🌟Office with sofa bed which can be used as a second bedroom.

There is free on-street parking outside the building. *Permit parking comes into effect 26th June.*

Please note, the apartment is accessible by stairs only.

About the location

The apartment is located in Leith and is two minutes walk from The Shore, the most sought out area in Leith, famous for its beautiful scenery, restaurants and bars.

Just some activities for you to choose from during your stay:

💫Explore the Leith Farmer's Market on Sunday, situated next to historic Custom House.

💫Take a look around the art studios at Coburg House (open days throughout the year; shop selling artist's goods open all year round)

💫Take a visit to the Royal Yacht Britannia located near to the Ocean Terminal shopping centre and cinema.

💫 Walk along the Water of Leith cycle path to explore more areas of Edinburgh - Newhaven harbour, Stcokbridge and more.

💫 Make sure you come back to The Shore by the evening time to enjoy dinner at one of the fabulous restaurants at your doorstep, specialising in seafood and local dishes.

The area is a great base for you to explore Edinburgh and is well served by public transport. The new tram line to the airport due to be operational in Spring 2023. It is an exciting time to be in Edinburgh!

Edinburgh's historic city centre is a 15 minute bus ride away. Start your day by walking up Calton Hill to take in the breathtaking views across the city; then stroll up the Royal Mile, paying a visit to Camera Obscura (fun for all ages) or taking your time exploring Edinburgh castle.

For sea swimmers and beach fans alike, the seaside town of Portobello is a 20 minute bus ride away from the apartment and is well worth a visit.

Hikers are in for a treat with the Pentland hills a feast for the sense and a mere 30 minute drive away.

You will truly have everything at your fingertips!

You'll find a document in the apartment with my top local recommendations, alongside a copy of my brother's book 'The Locals' Guide to Edinburgh' for you to keep - both as a practical guide and a momento of your trip.
