Fabulous mid-century modern Edinburgh home by Portobello beach!

Stylish, quality, spacious, bright & colourful flat with amazing views.

100m from beach. 25 mins bus to city centre.

Perfect for holidays/staycations, with family & friends or remote work (2 desks + fibre broadband 200Mbps).

Portobello is a thriving part of Edinburgh - abundant hospitality, leisure, retail & community.

You'd have sole access to my fully equipped home (2nd floor): large bedroom (super-king OR 2 large single beds), living/ dining room, bathroom, kitchen.

Free easy parking

The space: If you choose to stay in my place, I know you’ll love it - everyone does who wants a home-from-home experience.

As a PRIVATE HOME it is not a serviced apartment or hotel. You'll get far more for your money - but it's a different offer & experience. Please don't expect a reception service at 6am!

My flat makes for a luxurious and unique home to explore from. It is an ideal base for getting out into the city or the thriving local residential area, or for staying in and relaxing - or recovering from your excursions!

These are the reasons why people choose my home initially, and then come back again:

1. Light, stylish, comfortable, quality furnishings - with lots of real plants!

2. Comfortable beds - set up as SuperKing or 2 x single beds

3. Amazing views - in all directions & therefore great light & weather watching

4. Great location - easily accessible to/from the city by public transport, and to get to from the airport or city by-pass

5. In a thriving local neighbourhood - lots of independent shops, retail, leisure and hospitality on the doorstep

6. 100 meters from the beach & 2km flat promenade! Walk and wild swim in the Scottish sea anyone?

7. Remote work possible. High-speed wireless broadband throughout the house. 2 work stations.

8. Quiet building, surrounded by private ornamental grounds and no passing traffic.

9. Free and generous on-street parking

10. Fully equipped kitchen provides all the basics for full-on cooking or just having a cup of good tea/ coffee.

11. Spacious comfortable lounge & dining area for 4 people

12. Flexibility possible:
Up to 2 additional overnight guests can stay (on deluxe inflatable mattresses in the living room). £50 per person per night.

Late exit possible. £40 extends your stay until 2pm. Useful if you're leaving late or need to get some work done before you travel...

13. Serene space to improve your health & wellbeing. There's even a yoga mat you can use.

14. Home cinema available. I do not have a TV. There is a projector and screen with HDMI cable. You need to bring your laptop.

15. Read my books, or play board games and entertain your friends here.

16. Super clean. Always! :0)

17. Long-term AirBnB host & original 'house sharing' concept. This is my home and I am willing to share it. It takes trust in other humans... You are not adding to the local housing crisis. And you are helping me travel too.

18. Private/sole access - I will vacate the property during your stay.

19. Local guides and top tips and ideas provided by me - or my friends from the area.

20. Personal hosting service - by me. As a long-standing Superhost, my aim is to make your visit comfortable, enjoyable & easy. I am responsive, provide comprehensive & clear information and share top tips from over 30 years of local knowledge.

I want you to enjoy your time in my home, and I'll do everything I can to help you enjoy your stay.

In return I need you to take care of and respect me and my home. Specifically, this means:
- no shoes indoors
- no parties
- no pets
- no smoking / vaping
- no children - it's just not set up/ safely for little ones.
- be kind & respectful - don't touch or steal* my things - it hurts, is rude and unkind. *I know, you'd be amazed what guests do...

Please know what you're choosing here. This is a home from home, and not a hotel with reception services and facilities. Be realistic about this type of hospitality experience. If you want a hotel, go to one.

For the avoidance of doubt and misunderstanding about 'Modern'. My home is designed around the MID-CENTURY MODERN style. This is a period of architectural style and furnishing designs that are from the mid-1900s. It's a specific thing. My home has 'some old and unusual stuff' in it. It's not straight out of Ikea. I hope it's what you'll appreciate about it.

Location Description:
The apartment is situated 100 meters from Portobello promenade and beach. There are a good range of restaurants, bars and coffee shops within walking distance.
