A lovely property in a fabulous location. The house was spacious, spotlessly clean, had everything you would need including a very helpful host. Would recommend to anyone looking for a central location well within reach of the Station and Princess St.
Fantastic location with loads of amenities in the house including phone chargers and hairdryers in every room. Easy to access the property, great communication and a lovely welcome basket on arrival. Would love to stay again.
We felt very welcomed and the host went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. We appreciated an early check in. The house had everything we needed and was a comfortable stay.
Just fabulous! It was like a 5 star resort. From the goodies left for us to enjoy on arrival to the phone charger in each room, it made everything extra special and like a home away from home!
Perfect accommodation for my family of six. The house is lovely and plenty of room for all of us. Lots of good restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommend!Carol P., Georgetown, Canada
The apartment was great. We loved the location. It is within walking distance of most of the main sites and train station. The hosts were great and we had a nice welcome basket. Would definitely stay there again if we return to Edinburgh
We had a great stay here. The property was as advertised and is a fantastic location. It had many spaces to visit with one another, a great welcome basket and plenty of room. Christine had good communication throughout our stay.
This was a very gorgeous spot that was located in a great area to access many of the tourist spots. The house was fantastic with living rooms on the 1st and second floor, so there were multiple
Places to sit down and relax if needed. The rooms were also very spacious.
Fantastic accommodation in central location. Hosts very helpful/responsive to any questions. Thoughtful welcome pack included. I would definitely book again.
This is one of the nicest VRBO properties I have ever stayed at. Spotlessly clean, well supplied with everything and in a great location for seeing the sites of Edinburgh. On a quiet street between the Oxford and Cambridge bars! Perfect!
We are mixed age friends group and loved staying in this house . It is in a fantastic location with short walk to all attractions. The house is spotless with lovely interior and they have thought of everything you might need to enjoy your stay. We will be back and will recommended.
Amazing town house with very spacious accommodation, beautifully clean and very well equipped and lovely hamper to welcome us, altogether a very special family time for our sons wedding, thank you so much
Six of us senior ladies flew into Edinburgh airport and took an Uber to our VRBO. We were pleasantly surprised to find it even better than we had hoped. Management and the owners were both very hospitable and everything was just great and as indicated in the book we found shopping for groceries nearby
The property is well located for all activities in Edinburgh. We were greeted with a welcome hamper that was very thoughtful to our needs of a cup of tea and glass of wine and chocolate. The house is well appointed and immaculate. We had a great stay . Thank you
Property was in a wonderful, central location. Public transportation was readily available. The apartment was modern and very well maintained. Highly recommended rental! (Prepare for the loud seagulls!)
The property is just as described. Very clean and beautiful! The location can’t be beat as it is a short walk to the city with many restaurants, shops, and the stunning Edinburgh Castle.
We only stayed two nights, but wish it had been longer as we loved the city and the accommodation.
The property manager, Christine, is quick to answer any questions and the hamper of goodies was a delight!
What can we say other than our entire family holiday stay was nothing short of amazing. The townhouse was so inviting, very spacious for all, comfort all around. Upon arrival, we found a delightful basket of treats which was a welcomed sight after a long flight. The home was clean and tidy, just as described. We can’t wait to come back again on our next family holiday and we can’t recommend this property enough!!! Excellent!!!
Great place, Great location
Very nice welcome basket with goodies, Thank you!
We all loved the property! (be prepared for a lot of stairs)
Was able to walk EVERYWHERE.
2 different pubs right across the street
Nice walk to Edinburgh castle
Tons of shops/restaurants/bars/attractions
Could of used a few more towels…
We were only able to stay two days, but the location is fabulous close to grocery, restaurants, and our favorite pub “The Oxford”, just a few doors down. Very quiet at night and peaceful for a large city. Royal Mile is a simple 30 min walk.
Stay was made even better with a wonderful basket of treats and wine. Showers and Bedrooms were fantastic as well!!! Only great things to say and hope to visit again very soon!!!

About the host
Hosted by Graham & Sarah Mitchell
Setting up Graham Mitchell Architects in 1997, the business has developed in to a well-established architectural practice with offices both in Aberdeen and Edinburgh. We have a varied experience in both residential and commercial sectors with projects ranging from small house extensions and large new build bespoke houses to healthcare facilities, offices, agricultural buildings and hotels.
Why they chose this property
Having both business and family links with Edinburgh, we embarked on a personal venture to have a property in the city that allowed us to be both client and architect.
The Georgian architecture of Edinburgh's New Town is beautiful and we just fell in love with it!
What makes this property unique
Forming part of a Category A listed terrace, the building had been converted into offices which were then lying vacant. Having been altered many times over the years, we set about lovingly restoring the building to its former glory as a single townhouse. The process has been both exciting and at times daunting; from uncovering the original period features and intrinsic charm of the property to managing the renovation building works on site, leaving us with a house of which we are immensely proud.
