Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our house is part of a large estate of privately owned bungalows and houses, built in the 1920s. Across the street you walk into large woods, with a river and lots of walking and cycle tracks. Buses leave every 5 minutes for the city centre. We don't have bicycles but there are shops you can hire them from.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Edinburgh has unique historic architecture, excellent museums and art galleries, lots of green spaces, and all the usual things in a large city (swimming pools, cinemas, etc.). There is also a beach not far away. There are many restaurants of different nationalities.
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
Our grandchildren are often with us, and we are very happy for you to visit with your children. We prefer comfort to luxury. Smoking is not allowed inside the house, but the garden is fine.
