Perfectly located on Causewayside, you're not sacrificing convenience for quality—you're getting both, delivered in a chic, modern package. This is the definition of Causewayside student living.

Studios (The Solo Sanctuary): The property offers a vast range of studios, named after famous Scottish figures (Barrie, Hutton, Wallace, Stevenson, Doyle, Cawdor, Maxwell). These vary mainly in size, ensuring you can pick the perfect space for your budget, from the cozy Hutton Studio and Barrie Studio to the super-spacious Cawdor Studio and Maxwell Studio. Every one is a perfect all-inclusive studio Edinburgh.
The Bruce Twin: This unique option offers a twin room with two double beds, perfect for sharing with a friend while splitting the cost. It’s a smart way to enjoy the high-spec facilities with a built-in roommate.
Every element of your tenancy is handled with a seamless, fixed-cost, all-inclusive studio Edinburgh package. Your rent covers all utility bills (electricity, water, heating), contents insurance, and incredibly fast 100Mbps Wi-Fi. This removes the only real source of flatmate drama and lets you focus on your degree and enjoying the city. Plus, selected studios even offer free dual occupancy.
