Stylish and old-world home minutes from city yet surrounded in green and country

This is a family home, with books, a small library and an eclectic art collection.
The dining room can host at least 8 people and is attached to a fully-equipped kitchen, which is attached to a South-facing back garden, with wonderful light all day, outdoor seating (we love for breakfasts).

Our home is on a quiet street facing the amazing Queen's Park and Arthur's Seat. It is just a few minutes walk to numerous shops, restaurants, pubs and public transport links to the city centre. It take about 20 minutes to walk to Waverly train station, Princess Street, and Edinburgh Castle. It is around 10 minutes walk to the University where many of the Edinburgh Fringe events take place.

Lovely house in a great, quiet location
The location of this house is great; you are on a quiet street looking out at one of Edinburgh’s beautiful hills, but you’re within walking distance of everything you’d want to see in the city. The house itself provides everything you’ll need to be comfortable in a very cool-ly decorated space. Magnus is a great host, would absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful Experience
We were so fortunate to have found this home. We really enjoyed our stay. The location was on a very quiet street and was about a 20 minute walk from many of the major tourist sites. We enjoyed cooking some of our meals in the kitchen which had all of the equipment that we needed. The home was clean, comfortable and cozy and Magnus was very responsive and helpful.

Wonderful Edinburgh Adventure
We had the most wonderful time in Edinburgh—4 perfect days staying at on the edge of Holyrood park near the distillery. This home is exactly as billed, very cozy yet spacious, art everywhere including the door knocker and drawer handles. All lovingly done. The location is perfect, whether you want to hike to Arthur’s seat out the front door or go exploring in the city. Our host Magnus was easy to communicate with and instructions were very clear. Would highly recommend!
