Monthly Budget: Maximum GBP £2300

Looking for an Entire Home | Willing to Housesit
Tenant Timing: From May 29, 2027 until July 1, 2027

Description

My husband and I are retired professionals based in Switzerland and the US, who are looking for a comfortable, quiet home base in Edinburgh to spend time with our daughter. We are experienced, respectful travelers who truly value the opportunity to settle into a new community at a slower, more intentional pace. For our upcoming visit, we are seeking a one-month rental. Who We Are I am a retired educator and administrator with over 30 years of experience in secondary and higher education, both in the US and internationally. My career was defined by a sincere dedication to supporting students, families, and teachers, and I hold a PhD in Spanish and Second Language Acquisition. My husband and I approach our "sabbatical" lifestyle with that same level of dedication, organization, and care. We are quiet, tidy, and non-smokers with no pets. We are deeply respectful of the spaces we inhabit; we know that a home is more than just a place to stay; it is a sanctuary. Whether we are in our home in Switzerland or exploring a new city, we treat every property we occupy with the utmost consideration, ensuring it is cared for as if it were our own. What We Are Looking For We are seeking a quiet, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood in Edinburgh, ideally within easy walking distance of local amenities such as cafes, markets, and shops. We prioritize a peaceful environment and are looking for a comfortable, well-maintained space where we can feel at home during our visit. Our Commitment to You As seasoned international travelers and long-term expatriates, we are accustomed to navigating different rental cultures and maintaining excellent communication with hosts. We understand the importance of clear expectations and reliable property care. We are more than happy to provide professional references from our past stays or our professional history. We look forward to the possibility of enjoying your home and becoming a part of the local community during our time in Scotland. If our profile aligns with what you are looking for in a tenant, we would be delighted to hear from you and discuss the possibility of a visit.
