Free car parking
Our guests are welcome to use NCP Edinburgh Holyrood Road car park free of charge during their stay. It is located just a short walk (2-3 minutes) from our apartment. Car parking pass card is provided on arrival.
Guests access
The entire property and all amenities available are for guest(s) use, so please make yourselves at home!
Please note that the apartment is on the 1st floor and there is no lift in the building. This property is not suitable for guests with mobility issues due to the number of steps up to the apartment.
Other details to note
The apartment is set on the 1st floor in a building that previously belonged to the City of Edinburgh Council. The common area as stairs and the building exterior are still awaiting some renovation works, but the apartment itself is newly-refurbished, really well-presented and looks exactly as shown in the photos.
**Not suitable for events or parties**
Please note that there are several other privately owned properties that share the stairwell. We kindly ask that guests are respectful of this and keep any noise or disruption to our neighbours to a minimum.
If you are arriving earlier than 4pm, please note that early luggage drop off is not available at our apartment. There are storage lockers and many other drop off points in Edinburgh. You can conveniently store your luggage at both Edinburgh Waverley Station and Edinburgh Bus Station.
Travel cot & high chair may be provided on request. Extra charge: GBP50.00 per stay.
Neighbourhood
Perfectly positioned to experience the best of Edinburgh! The flat is located just a short walk away from the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Scottish Parliament and all the city centre’s attractions, festival venues, shops, nightlife and transport connections.
Our guests are welcome to use the NCP Holyrood Rd Car Park - a multi-storey car park located just a short walk from the apartment. (We provide Space Season Ticket for the parking on arrival.)
Tesco Express where you can stock up on some essentials during your stay is just a 2-minute walk away from the property.
Getting around
The property is perfectly positioned to experience the best of Edinburgh. Just moments from the apartment's doorstep you will find Edinburgh's Old Town, the historic Royal Mile and the world famous Princes Street. The Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile are only 15 minutes' walk away.
Even though the flat is within walking distance to the majority of the city centre attractions, sometimes the hills can be daunting! There are all the usual options available in the city: taxis, Uber, buses and tram.
The buses are clean and reliable and if you use the Lothian bus app, its journey planner will get you round the city.
Parking in the city centre locations is payable. There are on-street metered parking spaces nearby, but this can get expensive.
The closest multi-storey car park is NCP Holyrood Road and our guests are welcome to use it free of charge for the duration of their stay with us. We provide 1 Space Season Ticket for the parking.

This was a bit of a college feel location off the main path which worked great for us. Would rent again

Dear Kathryn,
Thank you for your 5* review. We are glad to know that you enjoyed your stay at our place and the location. 😊
All the very best,
Sara, Host-Ed Team
American visiting. Great and safe location. I did not get a SIM card as I was using WhatsApp on Wi-Fi the whole time. Upon arriving the power to the hot water and the Wi-Fi router was off. Had no Wi-Fi to contact the landlord for help. After an hour of searching for and trying to figure out a foreign, to me, electrical box, I was able to turn the power back on and get things working . Also we had to google instructions for things like the dishwasher as the symbols were worn off the front of the machine and couldn’t figure out how to operate it. The hall bathroom shower is ridiculous, just get rid of the glass door and put a shower curtain all the way across. Users should not need to be warned about getting water on the floor.
