A small but mighty ✨ flat in a quiet residential area of Parkhead. Well-maintained, clean, and full of good vibes, with a living area, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable double bedroom, and access to a private garden
Two people. One flat. Zero flatshare horror stories. You get the bathroom when you need it, the kitchen to yourself at dinner time, and a home that actually stays the way you left it.
📍 Location and transport
Parkhead is quiet and well-connected.
Direct bus routes to the city centre and beyond (3, 25, 33, 34, x27, x28), Edinburgh Napier a 10-minute walk, and Heriot-Watt around 16 minutes via routes 25, 34, and 35.
Two minutes from your door: a mini market, pharmacy, and takeaway. For the gym crowd 💪, Engage is a 10-minute walk, JD Gym 19 minutes on foot, and PureGym West two bus stops away.
💸 Bills
Not included, split equally. Based on moderate usage, expect £140-£180/month depending on the season: internet (£11 each) 📶, council tax Band C (£86 each), and gas and electricity 🔥.
🙋♀️ About me
32-year-old professional woman. Gym sessions, spontaneous adventures, K-dramas. High standards for the flat, and looking for someone who feels the same, or at the very least has heard of a mop 🧹.
✅ Who I am looking for
Employed, reliable, financially stable, and tidy. Mature students are welcome if they contribute to the council tax. Beyond the practicalities, I want to genuinely like the person I share my home with. Good human connection matters to me, and it will be the deciding factor when choosing the right flatmate.
No couples or additional occupants. Minimum 6 months 📅.
