Hi, I am a postgraduate student looking to let my room in this 2-bed flat share for a minimum of two months. My flatmate is a female postgrad in archaeology and a lovely, chill person to live with.
The rent for the room includes bills for gas, electricity, off-street parking, internet, and a phone line. (If you are not a student, you are responsible for paying council tax as we are both exempt. which is why we are preferably looking for students.
This property is convenient for its location at the heart of Edinburgh on Holyrood Road.
The room includes a 4ft (small double) bed, a large desk and chair, a large easy chair, laminate floors, IKEA furniture, plenty of storage and a fold-out dining table with a dining area. It is a well-shaped 12 sq metres.
Facilities include gas central heating and washer dryer. The kitchen/dining room is fully equipped with a table and bar stools, and with appliances including a built-in oven, ceramic hob, curved glass cooker hood, microwave and frost-free fridge-freezer. The Internet is wireless BT Infinity broadband with unlimited downloads and approximately. 80MB speed. The bathroom includes a Mira electric shower and bath.
There are also full study facilities for any Edinburgh student (computers, internet, printers, copiers, full-subject library, inter-library loans), 2 minutes away at Moray House College library. There is secure bike storage inside the building and car parking at the back.
The location is central and close to scenic and cultural landmarks. There is the National Parliament, the Royal Palace and a Royal mountain Park within 5 minutes. You are on the edge of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Old Town with the Royal Mile, including the church used by the royal family when visiting Edinburgh, and 16th-century buildings, from 2 minutes away. The finest modern architecture in Edinburgh is within 3 minutes of a mile of the crags.
Local shops/facilities are very useful. Tesco Express is 30 metres away. The sports, indoor and exercise facilities within 5 minutes include the CSE and are among the best in Scotland. A 25m swimming pool and several University sports clubs are just 50 metres away. The jogging and fell-running routes that start 200 metres away are unbeatable. 10 to 20 University dance societies practice 400 metres away.
Everything else in Edinburgh is very close. Princes Street, Grassmarket, the central station and St James Shopping Centre are 10 minutes. 18 of the top 20 visitor attractions in Edinburgh are within 15 mins such as the National Museum, the National Gallery and Edinburgh Castle. You will never run out of things to do in the local area.
