The apartment owner is a mature, non-smoking, female and well travelled retired academic. Very attuned to young people's interests. Attends to general cleaning but guests are expected to keep their room and the kitchen clean & tidy; to respect personal property & to keep sociable hours.

The accommodation is for a single female only. Males, or individuals who snore, need not apply. Working from home is not considered. Being clean and tidy Is essential. Would best suit a professional woman out at work, in Leith or Edinburgh city centre. or university.

Feedback from Spareroom flatmates:
1. Julia. "being able to spend 2 months in the beautiful Shore district of Leith was terrific. Patricia's flat is really lovely, cosy and comfortable. It is surrounded by the best pubs, cafes and restaurants you can get. Area is stunning and convenient with access to supermarkets, so close to the centre and all major attractions of Edinburgh. .Patricia is a wonderful host, she made me feel at home and I would love to be back there one day".

2. Miisa :
I stayed with Patricia for 12 weeks for a training course.
My stay at her place was lovely and she is an amazing woman. Very kind and I was welcomed by a big bed and a tidy room when I arrived.

Patricia always provided me with receipts. The location is great by the beautiful harbour and the building is one of the newer ones. We sometimes went out for a dinner together and Patricia showed me around Edinburgh.

I would highly recommend Patricia as a landlord."

3. Maria
Beautiful, comfortable and homely. Both the accommodation and Pat. Excellent flat, on Leith's beautiful shore. Full of restaurants, coffee shops and places for a nice evening.

Very easy to get to the city center. The new Tram line is 2 minutes from the entrance to the flat, and does not disturb. It has been great to get to know Pat, who I have had the pleasure to spend lovely moments with and would consider a friend.
Very clean, organised and respectful flatmate/landlady. Both the bedroom and the bathroom are fully equipped and a great size. I would recommend everyone to get to spend some time in this flat, with this great person.
