Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Edinburgh

Friendly, community feel

Such a great area!

Marchmont is lovely, no complaints about the neighbourhood. Mainly students, with good pubs and food

It was good enough for us as it was 20 min from my work. There's also a nice park not too far and reaching the center was very easy.

Opposite street has Chinese store and Scot-mid/post office. A little bit of a walk from Sainsbury's and another 20min walk to princes street.

Local area is nice, there is the Edinburgh zoo nearby and town is not too far away. Loved the city, but again would recommend living somewhere else and explore the city when you do.

Bruntsfield is very gentrified and feels safe.
That being said it can be really noisy living directly in to the Main Street as there are lost of pubs and bars that close late.

Neighborhood is safe and fairly quiet. Walk-able distance to the city and great bus routes.

Close to busses and shops, good for George Sq access, right on the Meadows. Good. Overall.

Bad neighbours, constantly loud. Drunk people always yelling in the streets. Barely ever get a moments peace.
