The flat comprises an entrance/lower hall with spiral staircase to the upper level, dual-aspect living room, semi-open-plan kitchen, dining room, WC, upper hall with skylight, three double bedrooms, en-suite shower room, and family bathroom.

The building is factored and lift-served, with communal facilities including a shared bicycle shed, indoor drying area shared with the other two top-floor flats, shared courtyard, and unrestricted on-street parking. Portobello lies on the eastern edge of Edinburgh, and is renowned for its sandy beach and promenade, both of which are adjacent to the property. The area has a bustling high street with a healthy mix of local shops, bars, restaurants and banks. Supermarkets and larger retail parks can be found nearby at Brunstane and Kinnaird Park. Many of the bus services to and from the east of the city pass through Portobello High Street, allowing easy access to the city centre, and also to the eastern destinations, mainly in East Lothian. Brunstane railway station connects to the city centre and beyond. The link to the city by-pass gives good access to the A1, Edinburgh Airport and the motorway network. The local primary school is Towerbank, just north of the high street, and secondary education is at Portobello High School, on the inland side. There are a number of parks in the local area, one of which contains a public golf course, and other local leisure facilities include the public baths, in a renovated Victorian building, and five-a-side pitches with Portobello Sailing and Kayaking club near by.
