About Me
I am the live-in owner of the flat and am entering my second year studying at the University of Edinburgh. I am friendly, easy-going, and clean. I like to balance a busy uni schedule with a casual pub quiz, or watching movies, but I also respect quiet study time when deadlines approach!

About You
Looking for a fellow student (undergrad or postgraduate) who is responsible, clean, and respectful of shared spaces.

In person viewings available from 3rd July onwards with photos available prior to that.

If you are interested, please send me a message with a bit about yourself, what you are studying, and your ideal flat environment. We can easily arrange photos or an in-person viewing!
