A Mexican family who recently moved to Edinburgh have been forced to live in Airbnbs for weeks after struggling to find a suitable home.
Gabita Jacome, 35, and her husband Edgar, 42, relocated to Scottish capital with their two daughters, aged one and four, after Edgar got an engineering job in the city. The couple are now desperately searching for their own home, but have so far been unsuccessful after being rejected for several properties, Edinburgh live reports.
Their struggle to find a permanent residence has forced them to fork out on pricey short term lets, which are becoming more difficult to come by in the lead up to summer and the city's tourist season. Gabita and Edgar's uncertain living situation also means that they have been unable to enrol their children in school, leaving Gabita 'exhausted' as she tries to educate and entertain them all day.
