Conveniently located in the west end of the Old Town just below the castle, this archetypal Edinburgh apartment, sleeping 5 people, is in easy walking distance of the Royal Mile and Princes Street. It is on the doorstep of the Lyceum Theatre, and the Usher Hall and within close proximity of a wealth of different bars and restaurants. It is also easily accessible from the Edinburgh business quarter and the International Conference Centre.

The apartment is located on the first floor of this attractive Victorian building. The spacious interior with loads of period charm offers a very generously proportioned drawing room with original marble fireplace and fine cornice work. It is furnished with comfortable banquette leather seating arranged around the fireplace. Floor to ceiling book cases on one wall contain plenty of interesting books for guests and there is a TV with BT Vision and VCR with an interesting selection of videos. Internet access is available in the apartment for the use of guests.

An airy dining kitchen overlooks pretty gardens to the rear of the building. The dining area has a table providing comfortable seating for 6 people should you wish to eat in.

The well equipped modern kitchen with oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher, large fridge freezer and ample cupboard and drawer space is generously supplied with plenty of glass, crockery, cutlery and cookware.

The Master bedroom, peacefully located to the rear of the building also overlooks the gardens. This is a very comfortable room; with a double bed, plenty of cupboard space and a desk and chair should you need a quiet space in which to work. The designer en-suite bathroom has a bath with shower over, WC and wash hand bowl.

The second bedroom, comfortably houses 3 single beds (or one super king and a single on request) It has plenty of wardrobe space and would make excellent family accommodation.

Great location, clean flat. We didn’t make use of the kitchen. Laundry took awhile, but it was available inside the flat so I shouldn’t complain. Owners were very responsive.

Fantastic stay close to Edinburgh Castle. The unit was clean and spacious, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well equipped. Getting groceries was easy with shops nearby. The washer/dryer was useful. The beds were comfortable. More than enough room for our group of 5 adults. And having 2 full bathrooms was great.

Home was clean and walking distance to the castle and royal mile. Would have been nice to have a “welcome basket” with a few essentials so we didn’t need to run out to the grocery store upon check-in.

Excellent option for a family stay

As a family, we stayed 8 nights and just loved this location and property. It was an excellent home away from home, with a great kitchen, laundry options, plenty of space for downtime, two showers and a superb location for seeing Edinburgh. We were able to walk to the Royal Mile, Edinburgh train station, the castle, University of Edinburgh and lots of other locations very easily.

Perfect!

This was our second stay at this location and it was just as great as the first time. Location is great, management is very responsive, flat was clean and quiet. Has having you need in the kitchen, and the beds were comfortable. Even my husband, whose hobby is complaining, had nothing negative to say about the flat. And what could be better than stepping out the front door and seeing the castle? I’m hoping for a third stay next year!

We could not have asked for a better place to stay for our week in Edinburgh. All of the rooms are large, with big windows to let in the sunshine. The flat was clean, the beds very comfortable, and all necessary amenities provided. The kitchen was well stocked (coffee, tea, sugar, salt, pepper, some spices). The location is incredible, easily walkable to the Royal Mile, Grassmarket, New Town, Dean Village and to meeting places for tours. There is a beautiful view of the castle just outside the door. I very highly recommend this accommodation.

Spectacular Flat

Location was perfect. Everything we needed or wanted to see was a short walk or used Uber for longer distances. Flat was very nice and clean for our family of 4. Check in was super easy and owners answered any and all questions we had. Washing machine was a huge bonus. Fully functioning kitchen worked great. Plenty of space so we did not feel on top of each other. Highly recommend. Hope to be back someday.
