Help me find a place to live!
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
