Lovely flat in Leith
Had a great few days staying in Stuart's flat in Leith. Convenient location with easy access for our rental car and onsite parking nearby (with permit provided). Just down the road from a nice pub. Quiet area away from the touristy parts on town with easy access to many great restaurants and public transportation.

About the host

Hosted by Stuart Carmichael

Host profile image
I grew up in Glasgow & Edinburgh and my daughter went to Edinburgh University - for 7 years taking 2 degrees - and she now lives in Edinburgh with her partner - so we use the apartment as a 'home from home' to go and as I am now retired we often visit as we now live over 5 hours away in Sheffield in England.

Why they chose this property

The whole area is vibrant and developing despite the recession and the local people are all so friendly - we couldn't resist Leith !
It has bars and bistros and cosy pubs and 'posh' restaurants but also takeaways and local shops and national supermarkets.

What makes this property unique

The apartment is relatively new - 20 years old - and is in a quiet location with grass, trees and free parking to the front and rear.
It just seems ideal for local living or popping upto town.
