Living with Host
Available is a double room with a king size bed for an individual in my home, which is a Georgian flat in Edinburgh’s historic New Town. You will also have use of the kitchen and there is a shared and newly renovated bathroom.
Edinburgh Playhouse is a 10 minute walk, with the Festival theatre about 20 mins walk. The Lyceum, Traverse and Usher Hall are 30 mins away (and its all downhill on the way home!)
Parking is by ticket Mon to Fri and expensive, but there is free parking within a mile. Parking is free at weekends. There is a great bus and tram service 5 mins from the flat and the bus and rail stations are about 10 mins walk away.
No smoking or pets, but I have a friendly dog which of course will not be permitted in your room.

Jackie was a wonderful host and has a lovely flat. She was always very accommodating, friendly and helpful. Great location - an easy 20 min walk to the Festival Theatre.

A wonderful stay. Jackie was friendly and accommodating (and her gorgeous dog was a bonus!). Around a 25 minute walk to the Festival Theatre but felt very safe. Very clean, comfortable and convenient.

I had a brilliant stay with Jackie, she was super friendly and helpful and the room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Everything was as described and had everything I needed, and it was lovely to be greeted by her beautiful dog each day. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again myself if ever touring to Edinburgh in the future!
Thank you!
