Stay in a colourful Mid-Century Modern home just 100 metres from Portobello Beach. This is my own home, thoughtfully prepared for guests while I'm travelling, offering a more personal alternative to a standard serviced apartment. Bright, spacious and well-equipped, it's the perfect base for exploring Edinburgh whilst enjoying life by the sea. The flat sleeps up to four guests across two generous bedrooms and is ideal for holidays, festivals or remote working. Guests enjoy fast fibre broadband, dedicated workspaces, a fully equipped kitchen, projector for film nights, books, games, yoga mat and free on-street parking.

I've called Edinburgh home since 1992 and love sharing the best of both the city and Portobello with guests. When I'm not at home, you'll usually find me climbing, travelling or working remotely from somewhere new. Because I travel frequently myself, I know what makes a property comfortable, practical and welcoming. I'm always happy to share local recommendations and hidden gems to help guests make the most of their stay.

Portobello (locally known as "Porty") is Edinburgh’s vibrant seaside escape. The apartment is nestled in a peaceful pocket just a 1-minute stroll from the golden sands and the 2km pedestrian promenade. It offers the perfect balance: the buzz of a coastal resort with the ability to retreat to total quiet. The Best of Both Worlds: While the city centre's galleries, museums, and historic Castle are only 20 minutes away by bus, Portobello allows you to escape the central tourist crowds. You can enjoy a morning "wild swim" or a sunset walk on the beach before heading into town. Local Highlights: - Leisure: The historic Portobello Indoor Pool (featuring authentic Turkish Baths and a gym) is just 300m away on the seafront. - Dining & Culture: The high street and promenade are packed with independent bakeries, artisan coffee shops, and award-winning bars. - Explore Further: You are perfectly positioned to visit the world-class golf courses of East Lothian, the coastal trails of Fife, or the rolling hills of the Scottish Borders. - Family Fun: Edinburgh Zoo and the Royal Botanic Garden are easily accessible via public transport or a short drive.
