The space
This house is in a quiet area , easily reached by bus from the city centre and so combines a city location with the relaxation of a green setting .
The house itself is on three levels with the guest room on the ground floor and shared main bathroom on the first floor .
There are also steps up to the front door and so it does not have disabled access .
Guests have sole use of the front door and can easily come and go as they please .
There is free parking for guests with a car or space for a bicycle in the house .
Frequent buses go into City Centre or out to Midlothian including Dalkeith country park or the Historic Rosslyn Chapel.
The house is close to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and so would work well for anyone visiting or working there.
Edinburgh University's Kings buildings is also within 20 minute walking distance .
There are three supermarkets in easy walking distance .Aldi and Morrisons are 5 minutes away and the Cameron toll shopping centre is 20 minutes or 5 minutes by bus .


It would suit: single guests or a couple but children are also very welcome is they can manage stairs .

Guest access
The house is a town house so guests would need to be able to cope with stairs.
There is a small private bathroom opposite the bedroom , for the exclusive use of the guest and a larger bathroom upstairs , shared with the home owner , with a shower .
The sitting room is also a comfortable shared space
Guests will have sole use of the main front door and host uses a different door . This increases guests independence and security

.I enjoy meeting new people and will aim to make your stay as comfortable as possible without interrupting your privacy .
I am not always at home during the whole day but will be as helpful as I can and provide you with information and suggestions for your trip as requested.

Other things to note
Edinburgh is bringing in a tourist tax from 24th July .
It is 5% on the first 5 nights of any booking. I am responsible for collecting and paying this and so your nightly price will reflect this increase .
