Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Edinburgh is Scotland's Capital, and is a World Heritage Site with a wealth of historic and cultural visit opportunities. If you have specific areas of interest, please ask and I will be happy to find information from you.

2 bedroom, main door apartment in Victorian tenement building with small garden spaces to the front and rear. Our sleeping accommodation is as follows: spacious double bedroom with large double; single bedroom, plus single bed in box-room (no window), which is currently set up as a bedroom for our older daughter when she is home from university.

The apartment is approximately 1.5 miles from the centre of town, which is easily accessed by public transport or on foot. We are very close to the Union Canal and towpath, which makes for pleasant walking / easy cycling. We have two adult bikes available for use.

Unfortunately, because of allergies we are only able to exchange with pet-free homes.

Attractions

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

Edinburgh is a World Heritage Site, with many places of interest. Besides attractions like the Castle, Holyrood Palace, the Scott Monument, art galleries and museums, the city is attractive and relatively compact which makes for pleasant strolling. We are fortunate to have a lot of green space; from Princes Street Gardens in the Centre of town, to the Royal Botanic Gardens to the north of the centre, and Arthur's Seat in the vast Holyrood Park (right beside Holyrood Palace). Edinburgh has all the amenities of a city, with sports facilities and entertainment within easy reach.
