The Castle market is 20 mins walk away and the Royal Mile is 15 mins walk away. 20 mins away is Princess St which has the tram from the airport and the tram to Leith. Nearby in the centre of town are ghost tours, pubs, restaurants, cafes and shopping. Good restaurants, cafes and groceries within a 5 mins walk.

The space
This is a quirky arty unique central Edinburgh apartment. It is my home and is furnished to a standard for home living. Each room is decorated with local art work and vintage details. Both bedrooms feature a double bed and ample space for your belongings. The large kitchen has plenty of space to seat 4 people for meals and has a gas hob. The kitchen contains all major appliances including toaster, kettle, toastie maker, milk frother, coffee makers (pour over or stove top), slow cooker, rice cooker, etc.
