Beautiful Double Room in Historic Bruntsfield Townhouse (Reduced Rent in Exchange for Cooking)
​Location: Bruntsfield, Edinburgh
Available: Short-Term or Long-Term Stay

Rent: Discounted rate (negotiable based on arrangement) + utilities included

​The Room & The Home
​We are offering a bright, spacious, and fully furnished double bedroom in our beautiful traditional Edinburgh townhouse. You’ll have plenty of space, storage, and natural light, along with access to a shared family kitchen, bathroom, and living areas.

​About Us
​We are a friendly, welcoming family of four—two parents and two independent kids (a boy aged 12 and a girl aged 14). We run a warm, structured, but easy-going household.

​What We Are Looking For
​We are looking for a trustworthy, clean, and culinary-minded individual to join our home on either a short-term or long-term basis.

​In exchange for a significantly discounted rent, we are looking for someone to cook family dinners 5 evenings a week (Monday to Friday).
​We cover all grocery costs—you just bring the culinary skills and prep!

​Ideal for a culinary student, a working chef, a passionate home cook, or a professional looking for reduced living costs in exchange for preparing evening meals.

​Foodie & Coffee Capital: Packed with legendary independent cafes, artisan bakeries, fishmongers, and specialty grocers (like Mellis Cheese and Project Coffee).
​Boutiques & Vibe: Full of indie shops, vintage boutiques, and local bistros.

​Great Connections: A pleasant 15–20 minute walk through the park into the City Centre/Old Town, with excellent bus routes right outside the door.
