About this property
A fabulously designed one-bed apartment in a superb location. Sleeps 2.
The Waverley Park Residence is a fabulously unique one-bedroom apartment that sleeps 2 guests, and is in a superb location, tucked away on a quiet residential street, away from all the noise, hustle and bustle of the city. This apartment has been lovingly designed with artisan touches throughout, hand-crafted furniture and original artworks adorning the walls – this place is one of a kind.
Stylish and cosy, the open plan living and kitchen area is the perfect place to sit back and relax after a long day’s sightseeing and comes complete with a smart TV, Netflix, radio and complimentary WiFi.

When it’s time to catch some rest, head to the dreamy double bedroom, featuring funky lighting and a handmade wooden bed. A good night’s rest is assured as the bedroom overlooks the quiet garden.

Thank you for your review. We’re delighted to hear that the apartment had everything you needed and that the location was convenient for exploring the city centre. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.
Perfect, little bit of a walk to the main tourist areas but not a problem at all. This is the ideal place to stay. Absolutely beautiful and great location.
The apartment was exactly like presented on the photos, very cozy and comfortable in a quiet area of Edinburgh :) Super clean and well equipped, perfect size for two people. Definitely a recommendation for anybody who wants to stay in Edinburgh away from the bustle of city center but still in a walking distance :)

A really wonderful, clean flat, decorated with great attention to detail. It is right next to Holyrood Park and you can be in the city in 10 minutes by bus. We really enjoyed our stay in the flat! Top!

Unique and attention paid to detail. A pleasure to stay in this apartment. Would have been nice to be provided with more detailed information on parking availability on the listing.
This property has everything we needed over a holiday week. It is well-equipped to do cooking and relaxing, and the location is lovely with very close access to Holyrood Park as well as groceries about a ten minute walk away. The listing has a lot of unique, easy-to-use touches, and has thoughtful touches like blankets, drink coasters, bathroom amenities, and large, plush towels. The bed is not overly large, but it is comfortable, and the USB outlets throughout the property were much appreciated.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback. We are delighted you had such a great stay and found all you needed for your self-catering break. We look forward to welcoming you to Edinburgh again soon!
We really enjoyed our stay here. A bit off the path of the tourist area, but quite easy to walk most places or we were able to get an Uber if needed quite easily. Very comfortable and spacious apartment with so many thoughtful touches. A nice large clothing rack and lots of hooks everywhere! Great shower and tub. Comfortable bed. Because we stayed for 4 nights we REALLY appreciated having the washer and dryer! Thank you for the coffee and sugar and even a French press. We liked being near the beautiful park and found an easy way to town crossing through it. So fun to be right next to Arthur’s Seat which we enjoyed climbing one day. Great little convenience store just around the corner we got milk, yogurt and fruit and snacks. Highly recommend this lodging!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the spacious, comfortable apartment and all the little thoughtful touches we provided. It’s great to know you appreciated the washer and dryer for your longer stay and enjoyed being close to the beautiful park and Arthur’s Seat. We really appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back anytime!
Nice little flat with lots of quirky features and cleverly designed to maximise the space. It was a great base for the fringe festival. A little further to walk than usual for us but a nice spot near Holyrood Park and Arthur's seat. Our son and girlfriend joined us for a few days and said the sofa bed was comfortable but the kitchen and lounge are open plan and bijoux so it was a tight squeeze and only one bathroom. We managed fine though.
The bed in the bedroom is a smallish double, I prefer a larger bed but hey it was fine.
Everything was clean and the flat was on the first floor so not too many stairs.
Overall a great stay.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're so glad to hear the flat worked well as a base for your Fringe Festival visit. It’s great to know you appreciated the quirky features and clever design. We understand the space can feel a bit tight with the open plan layout and only one bathroom, but we're happy to hear it worked out for your stay. We appreciate your comments on the bed size and comfort—thank you for your understanding. We hope to welcome you again for another great stay in the future!
