Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Our home is a "double upper" apartment, which means that we have a home across the top two floors, with a Victorian bay window and high-ceilinged rooms, but also the attic-level space under the roof, where there are three further bedrooms (five bedrooms in total). From the living room, there is a view over playing fields and a children's playground towards the North, the Pentland hills towards the south (frequently with snow in winter) and the sunset in the west. The flat has many original features, such as wooden floors, fireplaces (in bedrooms only decorative; we have central heating throughout the home and a gas fire place in the living room) and cornicing, but also a modern kitchen and bathroom, toys and playstation VR.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Our home is on the border between the historical Grange and Morningside areas of Edinburgh, about a 15 minute walk from the Meadows Park at the south of the city centre. Our home is in a very green area, with mature gardens, playing fields and a children's playground near the flat. Boutique-style shops can be found on Morningside Road (at the end of our street) and a Marks & Spencer's and a large Waitrose supermarket are located there as well. A choice of buses (numbers 5, 11, 15, 16 and 23) can take you to the centre of Edinburgh from there, if you prefer to take the bus.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

The centre of Edinburgh has UNESCO World Heritage status. Medieval old town with the little closes and hidden underground vaults are perfect for a ghost tour, while elegant Georgian new town is best for shopping and afternoon tea. There are lots of museums to explore.
http://www.ewht.org.uk/
The royal mile leads from the Castle, perched high above the city, to the Queen's Holyrood palace and the Scottish parliament building. Here you have access to Holyrood Park and Arthur's seat, the volcanic hill/mountain in the centre of Edinburgh, from which you have a beautiful view over the city towards the sea, Fyfe and Pentland hills.
Edinburgh also has a zoo, with its famous penguins, panda bears and chimpanzees, and a beach with promenade. Boat trips can be taken onto the Firth of Forth (the estuary of the river Forth), where you can see seals and a historic abbey on a little island.
St Andrews (the home of Golf), Glasgow, Stirling ('Braveheart', gateway to the Highlands), lochs and castles are worth visiting.
