Edinburgh City Centre, a neighbourhood in Edinburgh, is home to this apartment. Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle are notable landmarks, and travellers looking to shop may want to visit George Street and Princes Street. Check out an event or a game at Murrayfield Stadium, and consider making time for Edinburgh Zoo, a top attraction not to be missed.
The apartment was in a quiet location with easily access to the old town. The apartment was nicely appointed with everything we needed for our stay. Tom, the host made the process easy from start to end. He was welcoming and informative about the local area making it easy to settle in immediately The only issue was the single bed mattress was not comfortable for one guest. We contacted Tom who came and set up the pull out sofa which suited our needs better. The apartment is reached via a spiral staircase with about 40 steps needed to be climbed to access apartment.. this is an important consideration for some people. Thank you Tom for the best accommodation and welcome we have received on our travels.
Ideal location, very quiet apartment with a lot of character. All the necessary ingredients are present in the kitchen and Tom was very attentive to all our questions. Very plesant stay to start our trip!
Such a lovely, comfortable stay in this flat! Centrally located and great host. We loved coming “home” for a cup of tea after sightseeing , book it you will be happy! Thanks for the great book Tom!

Tom, the manager, was very nice and very helpful! The apartment was well-stocked with everything we needed.
Delighted with this apartment. Check in was great. Neighbourhood is wonderful and easy access to new town. Beds were comfy. Everything you need for a comfortable stay
Lovely property with lots of colour and tasteful art and big comfy chairs inviting you to settle in with one of the many books on show. Super quiet at night but easy walk or bus to the heart of all Edinburgh has on offer. We had a ball. Thankyou Tom!

This lovely apartment is in a great position, with easy access to public transport. Tom communicated really well and even left us some food supplies. We were very comfortable.
Tom was a lovely host. He very kindly accommodated our request for an early check-in after our overnight flight. The combo washer-dryer was excellent, as was the raindrop shower. We enjoyed the neighbourhood, including the two nearby grocery stores.

The apartment was wonderful and far exceeded my expectations. Our host was delightful and very accommodating. I’d love to stay here again.
This was a wonderful flat. Full kitchen with a Tesco minutes away. There is so much room and comfort to relax and get ready before and after your day. So much better than a hotel room! I would recommend staying here.
Tom was an incredible host. Flat was lovely! Felt like we were visiting family. Marshmallow Lady, Hata and Stockbridge were all an easy walk away. Getting groceries at Tescos was an Easy walk as well. Around the back if the property was a great park for kids and a short cut to some great shops. Buses were easy to take to and from the city as well as to the Port of Leith. Only issue we had was the flight of steep stairs, but we’re old! It’s Edinburgh… stairs and hills are everywhere! Bus 8/9 Muirhouse will drop you off right infront of the building!

So glad you enjoyed your stay. Welcome back anytime . Tom
Stay was wonderful. Owner is noted Scottish author Tom Wood. Flat is very comfortable, well furnished and decorated. Lots of books, from works of literature to notable fiction writers. Centrally located, within walking distance to public transportation, pubs, restaurants. A perfect base to explore Edinburgh. Communication with Tom was easy. We enjoyed our visit with him!

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Haste ye back, as we say in these parts. Tom
Excellent stay, would highly recommend Tom’s flat. Very clean and spacious light filled flat. Tom was very quick to respond to our questions. Check in was easy and Tom was very helpful and let us store our luggage while apartment was being cleaned. The flat had everything that one would need for a great stay. Close to old Town only 15 min walk, flat is in a very quiet area close to supermarket and great local pubs and restaurants cafes. Excellent.

A pleasure to see you and your family in Edinburgh Chris.Welcome back anytime. Tom
Nice home-feeling in a quiet resident area. Apartment filled with memories . Very cozy, historical building. As for us - close to all main attractions. Definitely recommended
Tom was the perfect host, he greeted us personally and we had everything we needed, plenty of space for 4 people and very quiet but only a few minutes walk to the center, perfect for a nice stay in Edinburgh. We can fully recommend the apartment and will be back.
Honestly, the profile pictures didn't do this flat justice. It is beautiful. The high ceilings were stunning. We appreciated the cozy, comfortable interiors. There are two normal beds and we used a pull-out coach for the third. We didn't use the kitchen much more than quick breakfasts but seems to have all the necessities. The location is definitely walkable to the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, University of Edinburgh and it's proximity to the trams allowed easy access to other areas of the city. Nearby dining options were numerous and highly recommend reservations to Dishoom. Tom was an incredible host with a super fast response time. Very kind and accomodating.
Tom was very flexible when our arrival was delayed. He was communicative and helpful throughout. Plenty of room for myself and two teens. Shortish walk or fast taxi ride into town. Enjoyed our stay very much, and would love to return.
Wonderful flat and owner. He gave us all of the highlights and what to k ow about the flat. He also gave us lots of advice on what to see in Edinburgh. We would stay there again.
