I am German and me and my family have lived in Edinburgh for more than 10 years now. It's so beautiful and we love it here. Scottish people are extremely friendly and welcoming but Edinburgh is also very international and I love being surrounded by people from many different backgrounds and cultures.

Our apartment is a great stay for couples, families or groups of friends alike as it's central and close to amenities and the ready shore, but t's also cozy and quiet. It has 1 large master bedroom with a double bed and an extra pull out single if required, a living room with a loft bed which together provide space for up to 5 people. The dining kitchen with underfloor heating has everything you need for cooking including oils and spices and is equipped with oven, cooker, kettle, fridge and dishwasher. The bathroom has a nice contemporary feel to it with it's brick feature wall, rain shower and underfloor heating. The nice front garden has a lovely patio area for sitting outside and enjoying the sun in the afternoon and evening. (it's sunny more often than you'd think in Scotland, despite the bad rep.) We are leaving a folder with instructions on how things work and recommendations for what to do in Edinburgh etc for you but we are almost always around if there is anything else you need help with. Please contact us if you have any further questions and to let us know whether you have any special requirements. Our property is pet-friendly and welcomes dogs of all sizes! However, we are unable to accommodate cats due to allergy considerations. We kindly ask pet owners to ensure their furry friends are well-behaved and kept off furniture for the comfort of all guests. If you require any additional bedding, a travel cot, highchair or anything else please give us plenty of notice so we can arrange this for you. A small charge applies. Later check out and earlier check in up to two hours can also be arranged with enough notice for an additional charge. We look forward to hosting you in Edinburgh!

The flat is situated in a quiet, very atmospheric street (my mum calls it "Harry Potter land"), not far from the city centre. 35 min on foot, 15 min by bus. The bus stop with buses that take you right into the center is just 1 min away. This area is also very close to an area called The Shore, the old Leith harbour (about 10min walk) with many award winning restaurants and lovely cafe's and a big shopping centre (about 20 min walk) which also provides access to the Royal Yacht Britannia. 5min walk away there is a big supermarket (TESCO) for most shopping requirements, but there are also a few convenience stores just 2 min away on an adjourning street.
