The apartment & your host
A bright, smart waterfront flat in Leith, thoughtfully furnished and genuinely lived-in.
A bright waterfront flat
Lux Apartment is a west-facing first-floor flat on the Leith shore, recently refurbished and furnished to a high standard. Two king bedrooms, two bathrooms, a generous open-plan living space and a big private terrace — comfortable for a couple, a family or a small group, and set up so you can settle straight in.
It's a proper smart home, with multi-room Alexa, smart lighting and heating and a 50-inch smart TV, and one of the most loved homes on Airbnb according to guests.
The kitchen and living space
The kitchen is comprehensively equipped — oven, gas hobs, microwave, dishwasher, and all the pots, pans and crockery you'll need — with a complimentary selection of speciality teas and Italian coffee, and cooking basics provided.
The open-plan living and dining room is bright and generous, with a double sofa bed in the window that lets the flat sleep up to six, and the smart TV and soundbar for the evenings.
The terrace and the view
To the front, a big west-facing private terrace with garden furniture looks out across the water to the Port of Leith and the cruise terminal — the spot for a morning coffee or an evening drink. The Royal Yacht Britannia is berthed five minutes away, and the Shore's restaurants are a ten-minute walk.
Your host
I'm Shammi. I've been hosting for eight years and have held Superhost status throughout, with 211 reviews and a 4.96 average. I answer every enquiry myself, with a 100% response rate and a typical reply time of under an hour.
“As someone who loves to travel, I know how much it means to arrive somewhere that feels warm, thoughtful, and truly comfortable. That's why I've created a space that's not just a place to stay but a home you'll actually want to come back to at the end of the day.”
Ask me about getting around, where to eat on the Shore, or what's worth seeing while you're here, and I'll point you in the right direction.
Where you'll be
Leith, on the Edinburgh waterfront, opposite the Port of Leith and Ocean Terminal. The tram and buses stop right outside and reach the city centre in 10–15 minutes; there's an airport shuttle from the door, free private parking, and a 24-hour ASDA and Marks & Spencer a five-minute walk away.
