This bright, homely two bedroomed flat is situated in a quiet pocket of Edinburgh’s West End. A 5-minute walk from Haymarket Station and 15 minutes’ walk from Princes Street - it’s ideally located for exploring the city and escaping to further afield. Our characterful Victorian-era home aims to soothe the soul no matter how long you stay. Spacious double rooms with considered shared living spaces. We hope you love it here as much as we do. Our Neighbourhood The flat is superbly situated in the West End of Edinburgh and is a 5-minute walk from Haymarket Station and 15 minutes walk from Princes Street. The immediate surrounding area of Haymarket/Dalry has a wide variety of restaurants, including a very good pizzeria and Japanese restaurant at the end of our street. If you would prefer to cook at home the flat has a well-equipped kitchen and there is a large Co-op supermarket around the corner and two Sainsbury's supermarkets within a 10-minute walk. If you’re arriving later in the evening - or need to pick up a picnic before jumping on the train, tram or bus - the M&S in Haymarket Station is convenient to pick up lunch items, simple meals, ingredients and snacks. There are two well-stocked wine and beer shops within a 5-minute walk and Fountain Park entertainment complex is also 5 minutes' walk away which includes a Nuffield Gym, Cineworld, bowling alley and several restaurants. We use the very reasonably priced Edinburgh Leisure fitness centre at the other end of our street which has a no-frills, but friendly small gym (but being a 1 min walk from the flat means you never miss leg day...), with sauna and Victorian swimming pool. Also, 5 minutes walk away is a bus station where the bus numbers 2, 3, 4, 25, 33, 44 stop. (Of note the Number 33 will take you to the hospital if (unfortunately!) required.) Our Flat Situated on a quiet street a stones' throw from Haymarket, this bright, homely two bedroomed flat is situated on the third floor. The primary bedroom comprises a double bed, sizeable wardrobe and chest of drawers, bedside table and Georgian desk with ergonomic chair suitable for WFH. There’s also an ‘Edinburgh Press’ cupboard filled with a huge selection of books spanning genres and interests should you like to read during your stay. The second bedroom has original wooden flooring with a double bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers. It also boasts a modern sit/stand desk and ergonomic chair for your ideal, personalised work from home set up. The flat has one shared bathroom with a combined toilet and bath/shower. Being on the top floor the flat is nice and cozy, but all rooms can be centrally heated. The well-appointed kitchen includes a convection oven, brand new ceramic hob, new washing machine, and fridge (1 year old). A food processor, hand blender and pasta maker are also available. There is plenty of cupboard and fridge space for all food shopping within the kitchen. The kitchen fridge contains a small ice box, which we supplement with a small freezer in the hallway cupboard for storing larger items and prepared meals. The living room has a bright bay window, large corner sofa, decorative fireplace, dining table and benches, and an alcove for books. You can also peruse recipes in cookbooks stored under our coffee table. The hallway has original wooden flooring and a laundry pulley. If you have a ‘good drying day’ whilst here - there is also a washing line outside in the communal back garden. Also available is high-speed broadband with WiFi. About Us Aaron: I'm 35 and have lived in Edinburgh for six years. I’m currently working remotely for a medical AI startup during the week and consult on various healthcare tech projects in my ‘spare’ time! In my actual spare time, I like to run, cook, travel, go to music gigs and am also an avid reader of non-fiction. I'm respectful of privacy, friendly, a conversationalist and happy to help out where I can for those who've never been to Edinburgh. Katy: I’m 39, originally from the Isle of Lewis (Google it! It’s beautiful!) but have settled in Edinburgh for the last 8 years. I’m a Program Director working in the development of future tech. That sounds very dry - the reality is I manage incredibly talented people in cutting edge tech projects that will redefine the way we live. I’m also very creative - I love to make photographs, dabble in art, travel to new (and favourite) places, try new coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants and love to hunt for books, antiques and vintage fashion. We love to travel together, go to music gigs, watch cinematic and thought-provoking films and shows - and eat all the delicious things together! We love Edinburgh and love to help people fall in love with it too! If there's anything that you require don't hesitate to ask. Please know and respect that this is our home. We’ve lived here for 6 years, and want it to feel like a home away from home for you too - so please take care of the flat as if it were your own, in the knowledge that when you leave we will resume living in the flat...
