You may have already seen my flatmate’s post for her room, posting mine too so option of touring either (her ref # is in photos)!
Looking for someone to take a room in a two-bedroom, one-bathroom top-floor flat in a fantastic central location, just a 4-minute walk from the University of Edinburgh.
The room is fully furnished, with a desk, under-bed storage, and a south-facing window that gets great natural light. The flat has a washing machine and a shared, updated kitchen and bathroom.
Location:
4-minute walk to the University of Edinburgh
10-minute walk to the Royal Mile
15-minute walk to Princes Street
Tesco, Lidl, and Sainsbury's all less than 5 min away
Close to Pleasance Gym
Excellent bus connections, including routes 2, 3, 5,7,8, 12, 14, 29, 30, and 33, plus more just steps away
The flat also has one very sweet orange cat. He's a bit shy and will likely stay in my room for the most part until he warms up to you but he's an angel.
Rent: £875 per month
Bills: Not included; estimated at around £50-75 per person per month.
The current tenant is a 30-year-old American postgraduate student at the University of Edinburgh. Students preferred, but professionals will be considered if they're happy to cover the council tax (Band B).
If you're looking for a convenient, central place to live while studying or working in Edinburgh, please get in touch with a little about yourself.
