Edinburgh Friendly Room

The house is in a quiet neighbourhood, great for reaching any area in the city and outside - the bypass is just a minute away, if you have a car. The room is spacious and comfortable - WiFi and Netflix are included. There is a bed, a desk and chair, a wide wardrobe, an armchair and TV set with PS3 console. I'm Silvia and my partner is Gary. We are friendly, book and film lovers. I'm Italian and an artist, while Gary will be happy to share his knowledge of Scottish history if you so desire. We're friendly and relaxed, happy to find out information to help your stay, open minded. Kitchen (just clean after yourself :), bathroom (of course), garden (lovely if the weather is good), living room. Gary and I are always up for a chat and to give advice if needed. One of us is almost always home :) Gilmerton is a quiet, suburban area. There is a small corner shop in walking distance, and bigger supermarkets a few more minutes walking away. There is a lovely park nearby, and the Pentlands and the artificial/dry ski slope are 5 minutes away by car, or easy to reach with the bus. The only attraction in the area is Gilmerton Coves, a system of underground galleries. However, you need to book a visit in advance. Mostly, Gilmerton is just a good base if you want to visit Edinburgh without paying city centre prices. There are several bus lines all in 5 walking minutes distance from the house: n. 7, 11, 18 and 31. The buses go to the city centre and the West End, and connect easily with other bus lines going outside the city (for example, Roslyn). You can check the bus map here: (Website hidden by Airbnb) If you arrive at the airport, the bus Airlink n. 400 takes you directly at the bus stops nearby (Gilmerton shops), which are only a couple of minutes away from the house. Please do remember that we have a 13 year old cat, so if you have allergies, keep in mind that the cat has access to all rooms of the house. Of course you can close the door to your room and gently make her leave the room if you so wish. Just, make sure you're comfortable with normal cat behaviour. There is free parking in the street outside the house. Sometimes you can park in front of the house, sometimes a few spaces over.
