Sitting above a pub in a walk-up Victorian building, this cosy apartment offers a convenient base for exploring Leith and wider Edinburgh. It’s a lived-in space so you can expect homely, personalised decor, and at capacity, two guests will need to share the pull-out bed in the second bedroom that also serves as an extra lounge. There’s also a sofa bed in the main living area for flexible sleeping arrangements, as well as a handy mini-bar here for those looking to unwind after a day of touring the city. Speaking of which, you’ll find Leith Shore's bars and restaurants a five-minute walk away, and the city centre can be easily reached by car or public transport.

Home truths
There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
This home sits above a pub, so expect to hear some noise.
At capacity, two guests will be sleeping on the pull-out bed in the second bedroom. This space can also serve as a second lounge.
There's a sofa bed in the living area that can accommodate a further two guests or provide additional sleeping flexibility. It'll be a tight squeeze when in use, so we think this home is best suited to a maximum of four adults.
This is a lived-in home. You should expect some of the host's personal belongings to be present during your stay.
Free on-street parking is available.
