Stylish and Old-world Home Minutes From City yet Surrounded in Green and Country

The (too short) stay I spent with my 5 friends at Magnus's house will remain one of my most memorable ones. During those few days in this house, I realized that the place where you choose to sleep during a trip is not just a simple "dormitory" but can change your appreciation of the whole journey.Magnus's house is ideally located, less than twenty minutes from the hypercenter of Edinburgh. But above all, it is warm, lively, and tastefully decorated. There are artworks everywhere, an incredible vinyl collection, and a great many books available.This trip completely turned me off from lifeless B&Bs with white walls, optimized for short-term rentals. And by the way, it's the only time in my life that I find the photos in a listing do not do justice to the accommodation.Just being able to rest in this house after a day spent outside really gave a whole different color and vibe to our trip.Every time I return to Edinburgh (which is a magnificent city, even in winter), I will definitely try to stay at Magnus's.

Pros- Location! Arthur's Seat was steps awayPlenty of towels and extra sheetsEasy communication with ownerCon- There is a damp smell

Beyond our wildest expectations. This home is charming, warm, easy to relax, and a perfect place to use as a base camp for exploring a wonderful city. The location is hard to over hype, as you are staying in the entrance to the wonderful park on one side, and the city on the other. The host was tremendous to work with, and made out stay so incredibly easy and comfortable. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place in Edinburgh.

Incredible property, very well accommodated with a fully stocked kitchen, gorgoeus rooms ans a backyard! A pleasure to be in the heart of edinburgh- beautifully hosted house by Magnus, 10/10 would recommend.
