Help me find a place to live!

Property

Hi Folks.

I'm looking to move to Edinburgh at short notice. I adore the city, ive been 5 or 6 times, but I'm looking for local advice. Find below my list of "requirements". I'm aware its a big list, but I'm more than happy to sacrifice some to achieve others. General location suggestions appreciated!

  • Parking

  • Within 30 minutes from the airport (unless theres a corking place that ticks other boxes, then up to 1h max)

  • Budget concious, max 1200 pm rent

  • acesss to "life". gyms. supermarkets, coffee shops ect

  • Able to build a social life with people around my age (21), organically without having to go on an expedition.

  • Fast and cheap access to the city (ignoring fast and cheap, but how late do they run, i might want to go out one night)

  • ideally a just nice place. maybe a beach. some nice paths to run along ect

  • ideally near a train station

  • Low "time to freedom factor". How fast can i be out the house and at the gym, or at my car, or on a run
