Edinburgh - Scotland - UK

CS Murrayburn Flat is part of the ProjectVolunteering initiative.
For any questions or comments email to anick at projectvolunteering dot net.
Location  Google Map 

- Close to the Union Canal, Sighthill, West Side Plaza Shopping Centre, Stevenson College and Heriot-Watt University
- 3 bus lines to the center (about 30 minutes to Princes St). There are two night buses too (N30 and N25). 
- The area is not considered the safest location in town, but not the worst either. The area is VERY Scottish (few migrants).

Concept

- Opportunity to "land" in Edinburgh in a stress-less fashion: you get here, get used to the place, get a job and maybe find another place closer to town. Commitment of a month and then flexibility. Priority to long-termers, though. 
- No deposit & fair price (140 - 300 pounds, depending of the amount of people in. The market is usually around 300-350 all inc.).  The landlady is a Couchsurfer. She lives in Spain but we are in touch.
- 3 rooms, one of which is shared (living room). The main common area is the kitchen, and it is quite lively !
- There will always be warm tea ready when you come home. Appartement is shared by HospEx Networks members only.
- A much shared stuff as possible: a free-zone where you can drop what you don't need and take what you want. Shared things in the bathroom. A fair view on food: take what you need, replace it and BE FAIR. Unless labelled otherwise, things are shared, basically. Privacy & ownership is possible in rooms.
