Stylish, quality, spacious, bright, colourful flat with amazing views. 100m from beach. 25 mins bus to city centre. Free street parking. Perfect for holidays, with family & friends or remote work (2 desks + fibre broadband 200Mbps). Portobello is a thriving part of Edinburgh - abundant hospitality, leisure, retail & community. Sole access to my fully equipped home (2nd floor): 2 bedrooms (1 as super-king OR 2 large single beds, and 2nd as super-king), living/dining room, bathroom, kitchen. The space If you choose to stay in my place, I know you’ll love it as a home-from-home experience. My home makes for a luxurious, cosy, colourful and unique place to settle in or explore from. It is an ideal base for getting out into the city centre, immersing yourself in this thriving local residential area, getting a taste of the coast, or for staying in, entertaining and relaxing - or just recovering from your excursions!
I've lived in Edinburgh since 1992 - so I know it pretty well! I’ve travelled far and wide for pleasure and purpose. Post lockdowns, I bought a campervan and am now travelling and working remotely as I enjoy a wide variety of outdoor-based activities, especially climbing. I can tell you great things to see and do and places to eat in Edinburgh, all that don't cost the earth.
Portobello (and Joppa) is Edinburgh's beach-fronted seaside neighbourhood and is a highly popular area throughout the year for locals and visitors alike. The apartment is located in a peaceful area just 1-minute walk from the sandy beach and 2km long pedestrian-only promenade. However, it is especially delightful to enjoy the beach-life when needing respite from summers’ tourist-crowds flocking to this UNESCO World Heritage city. The centre of the beautiful city of Edinburgh is 20 minutes away by bus (3+ miles). Here you will find galleries, museums, the famous castle and many other attractions, including the zoo (complete with pandas!). There are also a huge range of shops and restaurants, cafes & bars. Other Activities: Portobello indoor swimming pool, which also has a Turkish bath and gym, is 300 meters away on the seafront. Tourist Attractions: The apartment is within a few miles of the attractions of East Lothian, Fife and the Borders - which is renowned for is many golf courses and stunning beaches.
