Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

We have now agreed an exchange for summer 2018, but will soon be looking for 2019!

Our home is a lovely end of terrace house in a quiet road in the Trinity area of Edinburgh, just 2km from the city centre. The heart of our home is the large kitchen / dining/ living room which has patio doors opening onto the garden. There is also a second living room with a fireplace and TV / DVD player. Upstairs we have three bedrooms - one double and two single - and a family bathroom. We have a spare room which can be used as an extra double bedroom or a music room if you want to play our piano. There is a second shower room downstairs.

The garden is large and peaceful - with plenty of room for adults to relax and children to play. There is a large swing and climbing frame suitable for children of all ages. We are keen gardeners - if there is any fruit or vegetables ripe during our exchange then guests can help themselves!

There is plenty of parking on the street outside.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Trinity is an area in the North of Edinburgh. It's a quiet and peaceful area, but it is easy to get into the centre of town.

There is park with children's play area just 5 minutes walk from the house. There is also both a corner shop and a pharmacy very close by. We are next to the Edinburgh cycle path network - which allows you to get to many areas of the city either walking or on a bike.

The area is very well served by public transport - there are several buses which will take you to the centre of town in just 15 minutes or you can walk in about 40 minutes. It's also a fairly short walk to Leith (about 25 minutes) which has some of the best bars and restaurants in Edinburgh.

Attractions

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

We are just 5 minutes walk from Newhaven harbour, which has beautiful views across to Fife and also has many bars and restaurants. We are also a short walk from Edinburgh's Royal Botanical Gardens.

The Ocean Terminal shopping centre is close by - in addition to shops it also has a multiplex-cinema, children's soft play and is home to the Royal Yacht Britannia. For rainy weather the Alien Rock indoor climbing centre is fun - and just 5 minutes from the house.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

We would expect our house to be reasonably clean and tidy when we get back. We ask that smoking is only in the garden please.

We have two rabbits, which are quite easy to look after. But we are happy to discuss with guests if they don't want to look after the animals, as we can put them into pet boarding.
