DAICHES BRAES BRUNSTANE PORTOBELLO, Edinburgh

The apartment sits in a quiet residential street with a park next to a stream at the back. Brunstane train station is within a 5-10 minute walk, providing direct trains to Edinburgh Waverley in about 10 minutes - a practical alternative to city driving. Buses (including the number 44) are also nearby, offering another direct route to the city centre. Edinburgh city centre (Waverley) is 8 km away, Edinburgh Castle is 9 km, and Arthurs Seat is 5 km. Portobello Beach and its promenade are an easy 15-20 minute walk. Edinburgh Airport is 26 km away. The area's walkability is good for daily errands, with a supermarket within walking distance, and several dining options - Options Bistro, Ormelie Tavern, and Cafe 42 - are about 1 km away. On-site public parking is free but unreserved, so finding a space is not guaranteed at peak times.

The apartment is a well-equipped studio featuring a fully fitted kitchen with a stovetop, oven, refrigerator, and kitchenware, plus a washing machine. The living area includes a dining table, an electric fireplace, a flat-screen TV, and a DVD collection. The private bathroom has a shower with good water pressure and hot water. Two beds (a double and a sofa bed) are available, making the unit suitable for a couple or small family. The space is noted for its natural light (especially in summer), comfortable furnishings, and clean, tidy condition. Road-facing noise is not an issue given the quiet location. The property is accessed via a private entrance on the ground floor, so no stairs or lifts are involved.

The apartment itself provides a picnic area and outdoor furniture on the terrace, ideal for relaxing with the river view. Portobello Beach is a 19-minute walk away, offering coastal walks and swimming opportunities.
