Searching for a flat in Edinburgh

Figured while i was in Edinburgh for a few days i'd have a look at a few flats.

So far i have seen about 6 places and all of them fit into one of two categories:

1) Nice flat, shame about the people

2) Nice people, shame about the flat


I had a look at one flat in town, that was about 460gbp per month. That's pretty high. Actually for what the flat was, it was REALLY high. It was an old dentists office. It had two showers and two toilets. Sounds good yeah? Well, the showers are literally a shower with a step then a door, the toilets were smaller and the the door formed the 4th wall. So there was no real bathroom. But i guess that's okay because my room had a sink, in the middle of the wall. So if you wanted to get around your bed you had to scooch past between the sink and the bed. The kitchen was a mess, it was sharing with 5 other people, was probably going to get work done to it soon, it had no rubbish collection and he was trying to charge 460 for it! Ridiculous.



The other flats weren't exceptionally bad like that one, they were just kind of meh. I mean, i'm going away for two weeks so i can afford to be choosy. Basically, i just want a nice flat that is pretty new or newly rennovated with a lounge and a reasonably sized room. Sigh.. guess i've got plenty of time to look and i can stay in a hostel until i find something that really grabs me :)

Still though, Edinburgh is beautiful and i could have done a lot worse for a place to wander around.

I climbed Arthurs seat yesterday, i'll have to go back up there and bring my camera.

On the train back to Glasgow.
