About this house rental

This is a family home, with a small library and an eclectic art collection.
The dining room can host at least 8 people and is attached to a fully-equipped kitchen, which opens to a South-facing back garden, protected from chilly winds and a real sun-trap. Great for outdoor dining when the weather behaves!

Our home is on a quiet street facing the amazing Queen's Park and Arthur's Seat. It is just a few minutes walk to numerous shops, restaurants, pubs and public transport links to the city centre. It take about 20 minutes to walk to Waverly train station, Princess Street, and Edinburgh Castle. It is around 10 minutes walk to the University where many of the Edinburgh Fringe events take place.

From the airport the drive is around 30 minutes, while taxi from the train station is less than ten mins.

This is a really cool place to stay that is so close to everything! Only a half hour walk to Edinburgh Castle with great places to see in between! We did not find parking near so we had to pay for nearby parking. I would highly recommend this home if you are visiting Edinburgh.

Magnus was a wonderful host, and his place has so much charm and character. We enjoyed the library, garden, and proximity to Holyrood Park. We were there during the Fringe and Edinburgh had an amazing energy. Magnus' place is close to everything but also just off the beaten path. A perfect stay!

Magnus was magnificently accommodating, allowing us to store our luggage before/after check-in/out! The house is beautiful and my adult children all discovered their love for piano-playing. The location is amazing with the city on one side and the Holyrood park out the front door. I would highly recommend staying here and appreciate Magnus’ hospitality!

This was a great place to stay for a few days while in Edinburgh. Right at the base of Authors Seat and a quick walk to lots of attractions. The owner was responsive and the house was as described.

The location of this house is great; you are on a quiet street looking out at one of Edinburgh’s beautiful hills, but you’re within walking distance of everything you’d want to see in the city. The house itself provides everything you’ll need to be comfortable in a very cool-ly decorated space. Magnus is a great host, would absolutely stay here again.

We were so fortunate to have found this home. We really enjoyed our stay. The location was on a very quiet street and was about a 20 minute walk from many of the major tourist sites. We enjoyed cooking some of our meals in the kitchen which had all of the equipment that we needed. The home was clean, comfortable and cozy and Magnus was very responsive and helpful.
