I’ve called Edinburgh home since 1992 and love sharing the best of my city with guests. I’m an avid climber and traveller, currently working remotely from my campervan. Because I travel frequently, I know exactly what makes a property comfortable and functional. I specialise in 'insider' tips — ask me for recommendations on the best local eats and sights that don't cost the earth! I’m highly responsive and dedicated to providing a five-star experience at my Portobello beach sanctuary.

Portobello (locally known as "Porty") is Edinburgh’s vibrant seaside escape. The apartment is nestled in a peaceful pocket just a 1-minute stroll from the golden sands and the 2km pedestrian promenade. It offers the perfect balance: the buzz of a coastal resort with the ability to retreat to total quiet. The Best of Both Worlds: While the city centre's galleries, museums, and historic Castle are only 20 minutes away by bus, Portobello allows you to escape the central tourist crowds. You can enjoy a morning "wild swim" or a sunset walk on the beach before heading into town. Local Highlights: - Leisure: The historic Portobello Indoor Pool (featuring authentic Turkish Baths and a gym) is just 300m away on the seafront. - Dining & Culture: The high street and promenade are packed with independent bakeries, artisan coffee shops, and award-winning bars. - Explore Further: You are perfectly positioned to visit the world-class golf courses of East Lothian, the coastal trails of Fife, or the rolling hills of the Scottish Borders. - Family Fun: Edinburgh Zoo and the Royal Botanic Garden are easily accessible via public transport or a short drive.
