-by the most popular website Gumtree Edinburgh (and cheapest way)

Insider's tips:
Before you decide on how to find the accomodation and what source to use consider your financial situation.To find the right place consider whom you want to live with-if you are student you might look for common life style-search for student accomodation.
If you are on a budget look for a rent with bills included.
The cheapest way to find a RENTED PROPERTY is to check the private ads in a flat or houseshare on Gumtree website.
You will avoid administrative fees (which estate agents charges you apart from rent and deposit).
