In a quiet modern neighbourhood 20 minutes' walk from the city centre, with a supermarket 5 minutes away and bus links to central Edinburgh.
Powderhall Brae sits in a calm residential district with a playground and green area immediately nearby, making it well suited for families. The Royal Mile and Edinburgh Playhouse are 2 km away, Edinburgh Waverley station is 2 km, and Edinburgh Airport is 11 km. A large supermarket is a 5-minute walk, and several cafés, pubs and restaurants are within 1 km. Bus stops provide convenient access to the city centre, which is about a 20-minute walk. Free on-site parking (garage) is available, removing the need for city-centre parking fees. The neighbourhood is modern, quiet and well served by public transport.

Accommodation

A spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom holiday home with a private entrance, fully equipped kitchen and a small balcony.
The self-contained apartment includes three bedrooms (two with double beds), a living room, a large kitchen, two bathrooms (one with a shower), and a small balcony. The kitchen comes with a dishwasher, washing machine, gas oven, refrigerator, and all essential cookware, making self-catering straightforward. Heating is via radiators. A high chair is available for families with young children. The property spans a single floor and is accessed via a lift, with sorting bins provided. The three-bedroom layout with two bathrooms is particularly practical for groups of 4-6 people who need privacy and flexibility. The unit is quiet, with no road noise reported, and the area feels safe and residential.

Dining

The fully equipped kitchen supports self-catering, and multiple cafés and restaurants are within a 5-15 minute walk.
The kitchen is stocked with a gas oven, stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, and a washing machine/dryer combo, allowing guests to prepare meals and store groceries easily. A large supermarket is a 5-minute walk, so stocking up is simple. Immediate dining options include Crumbs, Crumbs Cafe, Wild Bean Cafe, The Water of Leith Cafe Bistro, The Bluebird Cafe, Loon Fung Restaurant and Sugar Daddy's Bakery, all within about 1 km. The quiet residential setting also means there are several pubs and restaurants within a short walk, giving flexibility for evening meals without needing a car.

Amenities

Free WiFi, free private parking (garage), and a lift provide practical convenience for a self-catering stay.
Free WiFi is available throughout the property. Free private parking is on site in a garage - a significant advantage in Edinburgh, where city-centre parking is limited and costly. A key safe is available for late arrivals, and the host is responsive by phone for assistance. The building has a lift, making it accessible for those with luggage or limited mobility. Safety features include fire extinguishers and smoke alarms. Housekeeping is self-catering style; guests manage their own cleaning during the stay.
