Comfortable City Centre Apartment The Home Street Residence is all about location. It is situated in the Theatre/cinema district of Edinburgh with Kings Theatre and Cameo Cinema only a stone throw away. All major sites and attractions such as Princess street - the largest shopping street in town, Grassmarket – a popular restaurant and bar area in the old town, Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile are within walking distance. Murrayfield Stadium although a bit further away can still be reached by foot. The apartment itself is newly refurbished. It is tastefully decorated with a bright open-plan living room kitchen, two king size bedroom and a luxurious bathroom. It will comfortably sleep 4 people. Additionally, we can offer a travel cot for babies. The kitchen is fully equipped and we can offer tea and coffee as well as the basics such as oil, vinegar, salt & pepper. Please note that the stairway is run down and in need of renovation, future renovation is planned. IF YOU THINK THAT THE STATE OF THE STAIRWAY IS GOING TO EFFECT YOUR OVERALL EXPERIENCE, PLEASE DO NOT BOOK.
A Swede by heart. As a youngster in my early twenties, in search for adventures I left Sweden for the favour of UK. I ended up in Edinburgh where I spent the best years of my adult life before returning back to Sweden back in 2012. I left behind two properties one which is now a full time holiday let. The style of Home Street Residence is typical Scandinavian with grey being the common colour throughout the apartment. I hope that you will like the apartment as much as I do. My family and I visit Scotland a number of times throughout the year. If available we will stay a night or two at the Home Street Residence to check it out and to test it if it is as comfortable as we like it to be for our guests. We would love to hear your comment if there is anything that we can improve - if so please send us a message. In my absence we are using Elite Property Management run by the lovely Dayna. She will take care of all of your needs during your stay. Welcome to our apartment and rest assured that we will try to make your stay a pleasant one! All the best, Yours Lotta with family
The nearly 200 year old apartment is located right in the middle of the Tollcross junction, next to the distinctive ironwork pillar clock, a famous landmark of Edinburgh since 1901. Tollcross is a diverse area with considerable amounts of eateries from all over the world including Indian, Chinese, Thai, French, Italian, Greek, Mexican as well as the traditional Scottish fish & chip shops – you will not be spoilt for choices. Right below the apartment is a pharmacy and a nail shop, perfect if you would like to pamper yourself before a night out in Edinburgh. Around the corner there are three “local” supermarkets (Tesco, Co-op and Sainsburys), and across the street you will find an Asian supermarket as well as Real Foods – a haven for organic and natural food lovers. There also several pubs in the area. Only two blocks away you will find the Meadows, the largest, and one of the most popular public parks in Edinburgh, a great place to relax and unwind or perhaps do a morning run around.
