O meni

Hey! I'm Katy. I’m 41, originally from the Isle of Lewis (Google it! It’s beautiful!) but have settled in Edinburgh for the last 8 years. After working towards a PhD in Chemistry I moved into designing and managing interactive educational museums and from there found myself in EdTech.

I’m currently a Program Director working in tech-enabled experience design. That sounds very dry - the reality is I manage incredibly talented people (immersive tech developers, UX/UI designers, 3D artists) in developing cutting edge tech that redefines the way we experience life. Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Simulations, Game Design - I've led some fun projects!

I've worked remotely for 6 years so have experience of working from home - and elsewhere! - and understand how important it is to be able to feel at home (and well set up for remote work) in a mid-term rental. I've worked from this home for 4 years, and at times have spent 1 month+ working in/from places like Denmark, Indonesia, Australia, UAE, rural Scotland and can't wait to explore more - slowly. We've also set up our flat to enable the two of us working well around each other from here so rest assured - the WFH set up (and WiFi) is highly optimised!

I share my home with my partner Aaron - we've been together for 7.5 years! He's 36 and has lived in Edinburgh for 7 years. He also works remotely - currently for a medical AI startup and also consults on various healthcare tech projects in his ‘spare’ time! He travels a lot for work now, and I go with him when the destination is new/fun! A former NHS hospital medic, for a long time Aaron couldn't prioritise travel (his vacation dates were decided by his rota!) so now I've infected him with the travel bug! We recently both travelled to the south of France for a couple of weeks for vacation and work - and having used AirBnB - we hoped to try Flatio ourselves as it seems better suited to our needs!

We love Edinburgh and Scotland more widely and love to help people fall in love with it too! If there's anything that you require don't hesitate to ask.

Absolutely loved this flat. It does fit 4 people, but it might feel a little crammed if you're not used to being in smaller spaces with people. I did spend a lot of time in the flat because it was so cozy and relaxing to stay in especially with the chaos of sightseeing. It had everything you needed to be comfortable.

I would not recommend to someone who has any issues with stairs because it is on the top floor. If you're not familiar with the UK, black mold is pretty common (plenty of cleaning supplies available), google the symbols on the stove, hang drying clothes is normal so plan laundry to allow for enough time to dry, and be aware of outlets having their own on/off switches.

Susjedstvo
It reminds me to smaller neighborhoods in cities (like Astoria, Queens), where it's not busy, but everything is there.

Preporučena mjesta u blizini
The Fountain, The Jolly Botanist, Wetherspoons locations, and Teuchters stood out to me. The Sainsbury's and Tescos were great for groceries.
