Professional Female (28) Looking for a Room

Hi everyone! ☺️ My name is Katie, and I'm looking for a new room in Edinburgh.

I'm currently living in Portobello area but hoping to either move somewhere else closed to my new job (Leith or anywhere from city centre to Leith would be best). I'm looking for somewhere in the new year - start of 2026. My budget is around max £800 with bills/council tax.

About me a little bit! I'm 28 and I'm from Ireland originally, and have lived in Edinburgh since August (previously for about a year in 2022/2023 and absolutely adore the city so very excited to be back!) Between my Edinburgh living, I was doing a working holiday visa in Canada, which was also amazing! I currently work full time in a hostel job, have a big love for travelling and hostels - that kind of environment, but settling down now and becoming a client support advisor in Leith in December so will be working office hours Mon-Fri with a couple days from home.

I'm very clean, tidy and respectful of roommates spaces. I love reading, hiking, knitting, swimming and just being out and about! I'm learning to do some crochet and embroidery so a few craft nights would definitely be up my alley (as well as nice movie nights) ✨ I'm not a big drinker at all but fancy a drink now and then!

One thing to note - I have a big sensitivity to mould so would need a place that's mold free/dry and well ventilated. Even better if the bathroom has a fan, and lots of windows is great.

I'm absolutely okay with pets, they're a big bonus actually!!
I'm able to provide lots of references and a guarantor if one is required.

Thanks so much for reading and feel free to message me if you think you have something that might be a good fit! ✨
