Double Room for Rent in Central Edinburgh

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a friendly, tidy & respectful female working professional to move into a double room in a bright and cozy two-bedroom flat located in Newington (EH9), just a short walk or bus ride from Edinburgh City Centre. The room is available from early July and ideally for long-term let. 
 
🛏 The Room: 
• Rent is £620 per month (excluding bills) 
• Furnished with a double loft bed 
• Includes a desk and chair – great for working/studying
• Ample closet space and storage 
• Shared bathroom
 
🏠 The Flat: 
• Second floor flat in a Victorian terraced house (no lift)
• Two double bedrooms, one bathroom, living area, and a fully equipped kitchen 
• Kitchen includes a washing machine, microwave, fridge, and freezer 
• Bathroom is fitted with a large bathtub 
• Free on-street parking available 
• Quiet, safe neighbourhood with excellent amenities 
 
📍 Location, Transport & Amenities: 
• Nearest bus stop: 2-minute walk with frequent buses to the city centre 
• Tesco, Sainsbury’s, and Aldi: 10-minute walk 
• Cameron Toll Shopping Centre (includes The Gym Group): 10-minute walk

👩‍💼 About Me: 
I’m a working professional with a hybrid schedule (WFH 3x/week, Office 2x/week), and as a result spend a fair bit of time at home. I have been living in the flat for about 4 years and value a quiet, peaceful, and hygienic living space. I’m tidy and respectful of shared spaces and am looking for someone with similar values who is clean, responsible, and considerate in the house. 
 
🔎 Ideal Flatmate / What I’m Looking For: 
• Female, working professional (for council tax purposes) 
• Proactive about cleanliness (no dishes left out, regularly taking out trash and emptying garbage bins when full, shared spaces tidied after every use - especially kitchen and bathroom) 
• Is respectful and values a quiet, peaceful home 
• Doesn’t host large gatherings or frequent guests
 
🚫 Additional Notes: 
• No smoking, no pets, and no house parties as required by the landlord
• The flat is quiet during the week – ideal if you also work from home or enjoy a calm environment
 
If this sounds like a good fit for you, feel free to drop me a message with a bit about yourself, your work situation, and your ideal move-in date. I’d be happy to arrange a viewing 😊
