Stylish 2-bedroom garden flat close to city centre

“A beautiful and very spacious 2 bedroomed home which was very clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen has everything a cook would need and the garden even in winter was stunning. We loved the location which was an easy walk into the center of Edinburgh with the independent shops and small supermarkets of Stocksbridge another very easy walk away including great butchers and bakers Robyn was very easy to communicate with and arranged neighbours to show us into the house and drop off keys to at the end A truly wonderful exchange ”

“Our Edinburgh swap was one of the most spectacular swaps we’ve had in 11 years of LHS membership. Robyn and Colin were fantastic hosts and their home is beautiful, very elegant, pristinely clean and offers a great location. Everything in the house is in immaculate condition. We fell in love with Edinburgh and in 4 days could barely enjoy the most important sights however at the end of every day all we wanted to do was go back to this exquisite home. We definitely will be back to Edinburgh and can only hope to be able to stay here again. Thank you for making a dream come true. ”

“This was an excellent points swap for us when we had a family gathering in Edinburgh for a wedding. The location is perfect, close to the centre but pleasantly quiet. The bus stops on the road outside and 4 stops take you along princes Street to the Scott Monument and the centre. Behind the apartment is the area of Stockbridge, lots of interesting places to eat, and shop. The apartment itself is stunning, the photos don’t do it justice., I could have sat in the beautiful light filled sitting room and gazed out into the garden all day long.. Robyn kindly let us stay despite her holiday arrangements changing.. Thanks again Robyn and Colin”

“Robyns home is beautiful! My daughter stayed with a friend for Xmas and found the home comfortable and inviting. Robyn was helpful and a pleasure to deal with. We highly recommend a swap with Robyn.”

“What a wonderful Edinburgh apartment —spacious, spotlessly clean, elegantly furnished and beautifully decorated; the photos really don't do it justice. The light-filled garden room is so gorgeous, we didn't have cause to use the formal drawing room once. It opens onto a lovely garden with raised seating area that had us yearning for hotter weather during our short stay. The high-spec kitchen is well equipped and a delight to prepare meals in — though no need to lift a culinary finger as a 10-minute walk takes you to the buzz of Stockbridge with its cafes and restaurants, or right onto Princes Street. Private parking was an unexpected bonus. And the location was fantastic — an easy walk to Edinburgh's major cultural attractions. Thank you Robyn and Colin for hosting us so generously....we enjoyed every moment, and wold love to return!”

“This lovely Edinburgh apartment is extremely spacious and comfortable, with a wonderful light-filled garden extension. Although it is only a ten minute walk to the town centre, it is very quiet and tranquil. We enjoyed exploring on our bikes - along the Waters of Leith walkway to Leith (and Mimi's Bakery!) and to the seaside at Portobello. All the Edinburgh art galleries plus the Botanic Gardens are within walking distance, as well as the shops and cafes of Stockbridge. You couldn't hope to find a better base for exploring Edinburgh. ”

“A lovely big flat in an excellent location near city centre. We virtually lived on the garden level floor with a super king bedroom, modern shower room, a great kitchen and lovely garden lounge / dining area. On the next floor was a beautiful lounge, spacious bathroom and the hosts private bedroom. The second bedroom for guest use is up a few more stairs and is a spacious, light and airy double room. The garden had been newly planted and had the weather been kinder, it would have been great to sit outside. It would be hard to find a better location to stay. The flat was quiet yet so easy to get to the heart of the city or out to Leith and the coast. There is the added bonus of parking although it wouldn’t be wise to use a car to get around the city. Robyn and Colin were lovely hosts and did everything to make us feel us feel at home. A great home to return to after hectic sightseeing and a highly recommended exchange. ”

“Really lovely big flat in excellent location near city centre. Beautifully furnished , bathrooms kitchen great. Free safe parking on quiet lane. On bus route, bus stop very near. Could walk into town. Perfect place, perfect hosts. ”
