My DS is starting a Physics PhD at the University of Edinburgh in September. The first six months of the programme will be based in York, so he will not need permanent accommodation in Edinburgh until March.
However, he needs to be in Edinburgh for an induction from 6 to 12 September, and we're trying to find reasonably priced accommodation for those six nights.
It does not need to be anything fancy, just clean, safe and reasonably accessible to the university (King's buildings). I'd appreciate any recommendations please, obviously we're looking at airbnb, but Edinburgh prices are rather alarming, and the university doesn't offer any support whatsoever.
Any specific recommendations would be very welcome. Thank you.
