Fabulous mid-century modern Edinburgh home by Portobello beach!

Welcome to my stylish, quality, spacious, bright and colourful flat with amazing views. It's only 100 metres from the beach, and 25 mins bus to city centre.

Perfect for holidays and staycations, with family and friends or remote work (2 desks + fibre broadband 200Mbps).

It's located in Portobello, which is a thriving part of Edinburgh with abundant hospitality, leisure, retail and community.

You'd have sole access to my fully equipped home (2nd floor): large bedroom (super-king OR 2 large single beds), living/dining room, bathroom, and kitchen.

There is free easy parking on the street.

If you choose to stay in my place, I know you’ll love it - everyone does!

My flat makes for a luxurious and unique home-from-home experience. It is an ideal base for getting out into the city or the thriving local residential area, for staying in and relaxing, or recovering from your excursions!

These are the reasons why people choose my home initially, and then come back again:

1. Light, stylish, comfortable, quality furnishings - with lots of real plants!

2. Comfortable beds - set up as SuperKing or 2 x single beds.

3. Amazing views - in all directions & therefore great light and weather watching.

4. Great location - easily accessible to/from the city by public transport, and to get to from the airport or city bypass.

5. In a thriving local neighbourhood with lots of independent shops, retail, leisure and hospitality on the doorstep.

6. 100 meters from the beach and 2km flat promenade! Walk and wild swim in the Scottish sea anyone?

7. Remote is work possible, as there's high-speed wireless broadband throughout the house and 2 work stations.

8. The flat is in a quiet building, surrounded by private ornamental grounds and no passing traffic.

9. Free and generous on-street parking.

10. Fully equipped kitchen provides all the basics for full-on cooking or just having a cup of good tea/coffee.

11. Spacious comfortable lounge and dining area for 4 people.

12. Flexibility possible: Up to 2 additional overnight guests can stay (on deluxe inflatable mattresses in the living room). £50 per person per night.

Also, late exit is possible. £40 extends your stay until 2pm. Useful if you're leaving late or need to get some work done before you travel...

13. Serene space to improve your health and wellbeing. There's even a yoga mat you can use.

14. Home cinema available. I do not have a TV. There is a projector and screen with HDMI cable. You need to bring your laptop to attach it to.

15. Read my books, or play board games and entertain your friends here.

16. Super clean. Always! :0)

17. Long term AirBnB host and original 'house sharing' concept. This is my home and I am willing to share it. You are not adding to the local housing crisis. And you are helping me travel too.

18. Local guides and top tips and ideas provided by me - or my friends from the area.

19. Private and sole access - I will vacate the property during your stay.

20. Personal hosting service by me. As a long-standing Superhost, my aim is to make your visit comfortable, enjoyable and easy. I am responsive, provide comprehensive and clear information, and share top tips from over 30 years of local knowledge.

I want you to enjoy your time in my home, and I'll do everything I can to help you enjoy your stay.

In return, I need you to take care of and respect my home. Specifically this means:
- no shoes indoors
- no parties
- no pets
- no smoking or vaping
- no children - it's just not set up safely for little ones.
- be kind and respectful - don't touch or steal* my things - it hurts, is rude and unkind. *I know, you'd be amazed what guests do...
