The space
I live in a traditional 1880s Edinburgh tenament flat.

The building was originally built by the Co-operative to house its workers.

the spare bedroom is perfect for solo travellers although it can accommodate 2 travellers on request


It is located near the high street in Portobello within walking distance of many independent pubs, cafes and restaurants and also 2 minutes walk from Portobello beach

Guest access
You will have your own lockable bedroom and access to kitchen, bathroom and living room (unless I am working from home in which case I will work from the living room) I tend to be away most weekends so chances are you'll have the place to yourself for part of your stay.

I tend to work from home on Tuesdays.

During your stay
As I live in the property I will be available for advice and tips about Edinburgh but also happy not to interact with you if you prefer (please let me know)

Other things to note
For August the minimum booking is 6 nights. would consider fewer depending on circumstances.

For all bookings from 24th July 2026 onwards made on or after the 1st October 2025, Edinburgh City Council will charge visitors to our great city a tourist tax on overnight stays in all short lets and hotels. Please note such tax is not included in the price shown and will be collected separately. Book before the 1st October to avoid this :)
