About this property
Bright, cosy flat in the heart of Leith

The historic Old Town and elegant New Town are both within a 20-minute walk, making it easy to explore Edinburgh’s rich heritage and culture on foot.

About the host
Hosted by Pilar Rodriguez
I am originally from the Basque Country, Nort of Spain, but after 20 years in Scotland, I also feel a wee bit Scottish!
I love walking in the woods, hiking the hills, swimming in the sea. I love nature in general. I also love meeting friends and socialising.
I love travelling to visit other cultures and learn new things, open my mind and build connections with people.
I rent out my place when I am traveling or working abroad so you are renting my home and hence, it feels cosy and homely, with character!

Why they chose this property
I love Leith. It is vibrant, diverse, full of independent businesses, it has character and it is self sufficient with lots of shops, coffeeshops, bars, restaurants. It is welcoming and very well link to public transport. The tram takes you to the airport and there are tons of buses to other areas of the city. And it is walking distances from the city centre.
What makes this property unique
It is my home, so it feels cosy and homely. It has my character imprinted on. There is lots of light throughout the flat. It has all what you need to make you feel at home. I put a lot of care on getting the flat ready for guests and that is something you would sense when you come in.
