A Swede by heart. As a youngster in my early twenties, in search for adventures I left Sweden for the favour of UK. I ended up in Edinburgh where I spent the best years of my adult life before returning back to Sweden back in 2012. I left behind two properties one which is now a full time holiday let. The style of Home Street Residence is typical Scandinavian with grey being the common colour throughout the apartment. I hope that you will like the apartment as much as I do. My family and I visit Scotland a number of times throughout the year. If available we will stay a night or two at the Home Street Residence to check it out and to test it if it is as comfortable as we like it to be for our guests. We would love to hear your comment if there is anything that we can improve - if so please send us a message. In my absence we are using Elite Property Management run by the lovely Dayna. She will take care of all of your needs during your stay. Welcome to our apartment and rest assured that we will try to make your stay a pleasant one! All the best, Yours Lotta with family

The nearly 200 year old apartment is located right in the middle of the Tollcross junction, next to the distinctive ironwork pillar clock, a famous landmark of Edinburgh since 1901. Tollcross is a diverse area with considerable amounts of eateries from all over the world including Indian, Chinese, Thai, French, Italian, Greek, Mexican as well as the traditional Scottish fish & chip shops – you will not be spoilt for choices. Right below the apartment is a pharmacy and a nail shop, perfect if you would like to pamper yourself before a night out in Edinburgh. Around the corner there are three “local” supermarkets (Tesco, Co-op and Sainsburys), and across the street you will find an Asian supermarket as well as Real Foods – a haven for organic and natural food lovers. There also several pubs in the area. Only two blocks away you will find the Meadows, the largest, and one of the most popular public parks in Edinburgh, a great place to relax and unwind or perhaps do a morning run around.
