The flat also has an iron, ironing board, vacuum cleaner, hairdryer, and a set of essential tools. Clean towels and bedding are provided as standard.

The rear garden at the back of the flat is shared by residents in the 8 flats. The neighbours are very friendly and several have been there for many years. Collectively we take our share in ensuring the 'close' is safe, clean and user-friendly.

Neighbourhood highlights

There are plenty of cafés, small shops, restaurants all within a small radius. Fountainpark entertainment complex is virtually next door and it is also a very short walk to the nearby canal. The Meadows is a little further, about 15 minutes walk, as is Edinburgh Napier University. University of Edinburgh is 25 minutes walk away, which is in turn fairly close to the Royal Mile and the Scottish Parliament. If you want to climb a mountain, you can do that too - Arthur's Seat is located next to Holyrood parliament (about 38 minutes walk from here). 007 actor, Sean Connery's childhood home was just around the corner (1 min walk) and you can see the plaque put up in his honour.

Being an architect in training, I love buildings - especially the space that I host on Airbnb! I love welcoming guests from all over the world and I as I have lived in multiple countries, I love the Airbnb concept and I am excited to travel and enjoy new places. My sisters and parents are Airbnb co-hosts with me, which is great because Airbnb hosting is worth sharing.
