About the host

Hosted by Nikki Reid

Host profile image
Hi - I am Nikki, I am from the UK but I live mostly overseas. In the winter I run a ski chalet rental in the resort of Avoriaz in the French Alps - a fabulous car free resort high up at 1800 meters approximately half way between Geneva and Chamonix and in the summer we love to sail and visit Phuket where we also have a rental villa. I have 4 kids (all now all grown up) that spent their childhood on the ski slopes in France or the beaches of Phuket.
I bought my apartment in Edinburgh when my daughter attended the university for 4 years. I purchased it in 2016 in its original condition as accommodation in the historic and university centre is difficult to come by and I spent a year gutting it and fully modernising and refurbishing it into a bright spacious comfortable apartment. I love renting properties and meeting people from all over the world. I look forward to your visit.

Why they chose this property

Edinburgh's Old Town is full of life. There are supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, a post office, pubs, take aways all outside the front door. It's only a 5 minute walk to the Royal Mile, but 5 minutes in the other direction takes you to The Meadows - a lovely open green park. There is a bus stop right outside the front door, but it's super easy to walk of approximately 5 minutes to the main Edinburgh sights. It is the heart of the Edinburgh University area and the Edinburgh Festival.

What makes this property unique

The apartment is very large at over 150 M2 and offers 5 proper large double bedrooms. Spread over 2 floors with views of the famous Edinburgh castle from one side and onto Forrest Road on the other. The apartment is bright and spacious and fully modernised - but retains its original authentic charm being set in an original historic Edinburgh tenement. Step outside the front door into the bustling heart of Edinburgh's historic Old Town. All the famous sights of the Royal Mile, Grassmarket, Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh Festival are within a 5 minute walk.
