Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Edinburgh

We had such a fantastic stay at Dean’s place! It felt like visiting an old friend you didn’t know you had, plus his adorable cat. Dean gave us amazing local tips that made our Edinburgh trip extra special. The location is perfect, well-connected by public transport, and the bedroom was clean and quiet. Talking with Dean was one of the highlights of our stay, he’s kind, funny, and full of great stories. Thank you so much for everything, Dean! We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to come back!

Great location. Easy check in. Very clean. Only downside was the room was warm and window only opens so far for safety reasons.

the accommodation was clean and exactly what was described and walkable to Colgate 20 minutes. lots of useful shops and restaurants around. A bit pricey but a great location

It was the best accomodation I’ve ever stayed.

Lovely apartment. Very quiet. Easy to get into Edinburgh by train. Lots of local shops and rey.

Student hall converted to hotel/hostel during the summer, it seems some reviewers didn’t know or understand this which explains the bad reviews. The place was spotless, had everything you need if it’s just a place to sleep, wash, store your belongs and prep lunch. Don’t expect a 5* hotel, you get what you pay for and this place is good value. Perfect for a trip to Edinburgh fringe!

Amazing Stay! I had a great experience staying at Jack and Dawn’s Airbnb. Dawn handled all communication and was very responsive and helpful, making the process smooth. The place was clean, exactly as described, and easy to check into. The neighborhood was nice, quiet, and had a very relaxed atmosphere—it truly felt like home. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming stay.

Great apartment. Clean, and well fitted out. has everything you need for a short stay.

Great location, a lot of things to do nearby, and close to the main sites of the city

Had a wonderful stay! The apartment is in a fantastic location — close to everything you need, including supermarkets, fast food spots, and cozy pubs. It’s the perfect base for exploring Edinburgh if you’re looking for a more local, authentic experience. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful apartment set amongst lovely row houses that’s just a short walk from the city center and the harbor, right next door to the Royal Botanical Gardens.

Excellent host, top communication, accommodation was lovely. Would be delighted to stay again. Thank You.

I spent nearly four months in Wendy's accommodation. I had a great time there! The apartment itself offers great views, and the room is very comfortable. It is easily accessible by bus and has a good connection to the city centre and main University Campus, as well as being close to a big supermarket and the beach. Being on the outskirts of the city and by the sea, it made it very easy to find peace, walking along the beach or visiting my personal favourite place, Newhailes Estate. For those coming to study here: the bus connection to the University of Edinburgh's King's Buildings is not great, especially on the way back, and if you'll have to be there a lot I'd recommend getting a bicycle, which is about twice as fast. Wendy is a very friendly host, who is usually not home during the day but if you run into her and she has time she will be open for a chat - for example sharing stories or music. She loves baking, and might leave something she made in the fridge for you!

amazing location just a short walk from the heart of Edinburgh. super easy to get to from the station by foot. lovely apartment with everything you could need for a short trip away!

we have just spent nearly 2 weeks in this lovely 2 bedroom apartment. we felt right at home. it was quiet at night so we slept well. the kitchen had all we needed to cook. the place was clean. the view of the sea was beautiful!!! my van was parked safely over the road. no issues with finding a space. town was a few minutes walk and there were plenty of places to eat. and the host was friendly and responsive.

Absolutely fantastic hosts! and perfect location in Edinburgh, literally a tram or bus ride from the centre and really lovely neighborhood. Can't fault Sue or her husband on their hosting, we were treated as part of the family.

Honestly I cannot thank kamil enough. Above and beyond for his guests. I would DEFINITELY recommend to ANYONE!!!!

Duc’s home was extremely tidy and well-maintained, and we really enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. It was also very convenient, with a bus stop just 3–4 minutes away and shops, takeaways, and a bar close by. Duc is a wonderful host. We absolutely adored Cookie the dog — she was so friendly! Our 10-day stay in Edinburgh was wonderful, and we would definitely love to book this place again.

We booked Susannah's property to host a family get together with people travelling from as far away as New Zealand. The property turned out to be perfect for the 5 of us but would have been just as perfect for 8. This property is clearly someone's home, it has a completely different feeling to many of the antiseptic business properties that we have stayed in before and I felt this was entirely positive. The decor is great and the facilities even better with 3 large bathroom's offering great showers. The location was perfect for exploring Edinburgh as it was well served by the excellent bus system with the tram available for longer journeys. It would also be walkable to the centre of town but we chose to save our energy for exploring. We never failed to find parking nearby when required but chose to leave our cars in the free park & ride carpark that was accessible via a £2 bus. I cannot recommend this property too highly and would definitely return again if numbers required.

Kamil, was a fantastic host. As I was his first long stay rental he outlined his rules. Respect to privacy but also sociable and volunteered to take me with him when he did grocery shopping or going for take out meals. His place felt like a second home, and asked me before going into the room I rented if he had to access items stored there. The keyless door lock and outdoor camera made me feel secure. With the kitchen I had my own cupboard space as well as space in the fridge and freezer for my food, as well as instructed me in the use of the cooker and washing machine ( different from Canada).

Ishbel has such a big heart, and it is difficult not to see it in all the small things the flat has. She is super caring and supplies with everything one may need, even a bathrobe, shortbreads and tea. The location is great and the bed was super comfortable. The doggies deserve a separate shoutout, they are just so so lovely and cute ❤️ Cannot recommend enough Ishbel and her house, and truly looking forward to coming back soon!

What an absolutely gorgeous place. We were there during a really cold spell but the house was so lovely and warm. Gorgeous furnishings. Very spacious even with all the Christmas decorations - the place felt very festive. Not too long a walk to get into town or to catch a tram but we used taxis due to the weather and there was never a problem getting one. House was pristine and the decor was great. Bedrooms spacious with very comfortable beds. Paige responded to my messages within minutes. I would definitely recommend people to stay here. Yes - it’s more expensive than some places in Edinburgh - but you get what you pay for and here you get true quality and comfort. The photos are very accurate …..what you see is what you get.

Great host, responsive and provided clear insturctions. The accomodation was clean and met all requirements.

Only 30 mins drive from the airport, we were greeted by Drew to get a walk through. It's their family home so it has everything you could need, very spacious, private, safe, and friendly neighborhood. Only 5 minutes walk from a coastal restaurant we ate at every night. Takes exactly 1-hour to get to Waverly Edinburgh station by train, from the moment you leave the front door. We were a group of 5 work colleagues who all needed their own bedroom, and this space more than accommodated. Highly recommend. Amazing view of Edinburgh from every window. Evening beach strolls are a must.
