About this property
GuestReady - 1BR in the Heart of Old Town
Welcome to our nineteenth-century home!
The apartment is situated on the second floor and is accessible by stairs only.
Elegantly furnished in a modern style, this flat is perfect for families or friends seeking a comfortable holiday retreat in this beautiful city.
Tall windows fill the spacious lounge with natural light. The living area includes a sofa bed that sleeps two and a flat-screen Smart TV for your favourite shows.
The open-plan kitchen adjoins the lounge and features a counter table. It’s fully equipped with everything you need to prepare fresh meals, though a variety of nearby restaurants and bars are also available if you prefer to dine out.
The bedroom offers a double bed with hotel-quality linens to ensure a restful night’s sleep.
The bathroom includes a bathtub with an attached showerhead, a toilet, and a sink. Fresh towels and complimentary eco-friendly toiletries are provided for your convenience.
The flat is always professionally cleaned before your arrival.
Have a lovely stay.
On the day of your arrival, you can seamlessly complete the check-in process using Keynest by visiting a nearby store within walking distance of the property. You will receive your keys by providing a code to the store attendant. The store's address and the required code will be conveniently shared with you at least 48 hours before your scheduled time, and the code is valid within 30 minutes before your scheduled time.
Please note that keys are also required to be dropped off at checkout.
We are GuestReady, a property manager, and we want to ensure your stay will be as smooth and comfortable as possible. We are available 24/7 should you need any assistance during your stay. Kindly note that this is a personal home so please take good care of it as if it was your own.
The Old Town is a bustling district filled with centuries-old buildings and narrow, winding alleys. At its centre, perched atop an extinct volcano, Edinburgh Castle houses Scotland’s Crown Jewels. The Royal Mile—a steep street lined with traditional pubs, casual eateries, souvenir shops, and small museums—stretches from the castle to the Scottish Parliament and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Queen’s Scottish residence.
St Giles’ Cathedral impresses with its vaulted ceilings and ornate tombs, while the recently refurbished National Museum of Scotland on Chambers Street showcases a rich collection of rare and priceless artifacts. Beneath the city, Edinburgh’s vaults offer a glimpse into a forgotten subterranean world that once sheltered the city’s poor.
The Old Town is captivating year-round, but it truly comes alive in August, when street performers fill the streets and the area bursts with the sights and sounds of the Edinburgh Fringe and Festival.
My home is easily accessible by public transport.
- The nearest train station, Edinburgh Waverley is just 2-mins walk from the flat.
- You can also ride the city tram. The nearest tram stop, the Edinburgh Tram is 3-minute away on foot.
Edinburgh Airport is a 25 mins drive from the apartment.
Please note, there is scaffolding up around the outside of the building while maintenance work is carried out. This will not affect your stay.
This is a self check-in property and you will be requested to verify your identity before being able to check into the flat. You can check-in anytime of the day as long as you respect our standard check-in time.
Also, we charge £50 for each set of lost keys (security keys may cost more). For security purposes, there may be an additional cost to replace the locks. So, please keep your keys safe :)
There is a zero-tolerance policy for smoking in the property. If our team discovers any evidence that this rule has been breached (e.g., smoke smell, ashes, butts, etc.) we fully reserve the right to charge a £300 GBP smoking fee, at minimum.
We do not allow parties, large gatherings, loud noises, or outside guests. Should we receive sufficient evidence of such activity we reserve the right to cancel your stay (without refund) and may involve a security team to evict you. Any associated cost will be charged to you via your security deposit. Local authorities may also be present (if required).
