🏠 ABOUT THE FLAT

- A double bed and bedside table.
- A chest of drawers.
- A stylish white bouclé accent sofa.
- Ample storage via a built-in wardrobe and an integrated storage cupboard.

- Two beautiful green parks.
- An array of local pubs, bars, and independent cafes.
- A large 24-hour supermarket along with a smaller local supermarket for quick grocery runs.

- Parking: Free, unrestricted on-street parking right outside the property.
- Trams: The Newhaven tram stop is just a 10-minute walk away, providing an efficient, light-rail link straight to the city centre and Edinburgh Airport.
- Buses: Direct local bus routes are on your doorstep, connecting you seamlessly to the city centre, Leith, and surrounding areas.
- Active Travel & Cycling: The property sits directly adjacent to Edinburgh’s excellent, traffic-free off-road cycle path network, offering a seamless, green route for cycling, running, or walking straight into the city centre or over to Leith.
🐾 ABOUT ME
• The Professional: I am a reliable, full-time professional working stable, structured hours. I take pride in running a highly organized, secure, and financially mature household.
• The Lifestyle: I love a peaceful, clean environment to wind down after a busy shift. I’m exceptionally quiet, respect personal boundaries, and treat the flat as a true sanctuary to relax in. I'm looking for a long-term flatshare dynamic where we can have a friendly chat in the shared spaces but fully respect each other's private space and downtime.
• Meet Frankie! I share the flat with my 5 year old Labrador, Frankie. He is a beautifully behaved, incredibly friendly and very quiet companion. He does shed hair, but I am vigilant in hoovering so as to minimise the impact this has. Because he is an integral part of the home, it is an absolute mandate that anyone moving in will welcome having a friendly dog around the space.
🫵🏻 ABOUT YOU
• The Lifestyle: I’m completely open-minded and welcome people from all walks of life, but I would ideally love to find a like-minded professional who appreciates a calm, clean, and peaceful home sanctuary. If you value your downtime after a busy shift and appreciate an organized, well-run household, we will get along great!
• The Space Details: Because the flat is set up specifically as a quiet retreat for two individuals (plus Frankie!), the property layout cannot accommodate couples.
• A Few Household Rules: To keep the environment safe, comfortable, and running smoothly for everyone, the flat is strictly a smoke-free zone and cannot accommodate students or any additional pets.
