Housing Search
Im moving to Edinburgh for school in September 2026 and I plan on visiting a couple of weeks before term starts to find somewhere to live. I am unable to stay in student housing so I have to find private housing somewhere nearby. I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations on areas I should stay that are affordable and safe for someone unfamiliar with the area (from USA).
I would like to avoid staying in a hotel while I look for housing just because it will be more expensive but im not sure where to look for private housing. As of now I am looking on Hostel World and google.
I would really appreciate some advice, thank you!
