ACCOMMODATION NEEDED - "Three artists (male) are looking for accommodation in Edinburgh during the months of August 2010. They are non-smokers and non-drinkers and are happy to pay for their stay! Please contact Sabine on 0131 3468665 if you can help!"
ACCOMMODATION NEEDED - I am a teacher at Glenaeon Rudolf Steiner School in Sydney. My son, Tamlyn Henderson, and two other friends (all in their 30s and two of them ex-Glenaeon students) have just had confirmation that they have a theatre (Underbelly) at the Edinburgh Fringe for their comedy show and they are accordingly now looking for accommodation in Edinburgh for the month of August this year. Taking their show to the Fringe is costing them pretty much all they have - and more - and I wonder if there is any possibility of house-sitting or rental or house exchange (our Sydney house would be available for 4 weeks over Christmas this year for example if anyone wanted to escape part of a Scottish winter!)
