Mutually exclusive conditions you have there. All the hassle in Edinburgh is attached to the pubs and nightlife, apart from the wacky stuff out in the schemes which you won't have to participate in.
New Town, Stockbridge, Bruntsfield, Marchmont and Morningside are probably closest to the compromise you're looking for. Start flat-seeking early; it's almost impossible to get a pad between August and October.

I lived in Stockbridge which is probably the nicest part of Edinburgh (I think so anyway). The real student area is in the 'South Side' near the University of Edinburgh, Sciennes, Newington etc but there are students everywhere. Good places are: Stockbridge, New Town, Newington, Old Town, Grassmarket, Fountainbridge, West End, Portobello, parts of Leith etc. Bad includes: Pilton, Craigmillar, Gilmerton, parts of Leith, Silverknowes etc

Newington has the balance pretty good. Pubs, cafes, restaurants, close to Arthurs seat and the meadows to chill out. Easy distance from the centre, but not right in it. I can recommend it as I lived there for 2 years.

There's also Haymarket. its a 2 minute train ride to & from Waverley train Station so your next to the city center, but its also just outside of it so your not bothered with the hustle & Bustle.

the previous answerer sounds like my dream landlord... besides, you need to assume to pay interior the region of £3 hundred according to room according to month. in case you reside in college owned lodging, you will pay a sprint greater, yet your expenditures and information superhighway are unfastened.
