Quartier
Description de notre quartier et ses alentours
Quiet, small private development (built approx. 20 years ago) tucked behind older traditional Edinburgh tenement & townhouses which front the main roads.
Quiet, friendly neighbours who will assist with any queries or help required during your stay (next door neighbour will be advised of any home exchange stay).
There is a leisure centre nearby at Fountainbridge (bars, restaurants, cinema, ten pin bowling, childrens activity centre, health club with pool,etc), as well as local bars (serving food), cafes and restaurants. There are ample local grocers / grocery stores nearby (Sainsburys / Scotmid / Tesco) as well as all manner of other traders in nearby Dalry & Gorgie. Being within a short walking distance of the West End and central Edinburgh's New & Old towns, there are many tourist attractions, bars, restaurants, theaters, independent cinemas, music venues, clubs, etc to occupy your time during a stay in Edinburgh.
A bit further afield is the vibrant area of Leith or why not walk up Arthurs Seat and enjoy the views over the Edinburgh skyline, again easily reached via local bus services with stops immediately nearby,
If visiting for sporting events or activities, Murrayfield Rugby Stadium (Scotland national team & Edinburgh Rugby pro team) is also within easy walking distance, as is Tynecastle Football Stadium (Heart of Midlothian FC). There are several golf course in and around Edinburgh, as well as nearby Fife and East Lothian.

Nos préférences
Ce qu'on apprécie, ce qu'on apprécie moins… Voici nos préférences et nos règles de maison.
The property can sleep up to 5 people (2 x double on 2nd floor and 1 x double on GF).
A further single bed room on the 2nd floor, but is currently used as a study (no bed presently).
My preference is for 4 people or less, since although comfortable, the property is not the most spacious.
