About this property

Beautiful 2 Bedroom Apartment in Historic Central Edinburgh

This beautiful, elegantly and very sympathetically refurbished 1st Floor Apartment, offers everything you could want to make your stay in Edinburgh just perfect. The apartment still has original Georgian fireplaces and beautiful corniceing all shown off perfectly by the light streaming through the large Georgian windows.

There is a spacious hall - off which is
: the kitchen/dining which is bright and sunny and well equipped. Off the kitchen is a fully equipped utility room with washing machine, drier and freezer.
: a large double bedroom.
: a lounge with large comfortable leather couch and leather chairs. There is also a large flat screened TV with DVD player.
: Bathroom with bath/shower.
: Twin bedded room with en suite shower.
: Toilet/cloakroom

Due to Cumberland Street being relatively narrow, it is very quiet with very little traffic making it the perfect location for resting after a hectic day in the city.

A great stay in Edinburgh

Excellent location. The flat was warm and cosy which we appreciated given the weather at the time was wet and very cold. Had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay and experience of Edinburgh. The host was so easy to communicate with and quick with replies.

Perfect base for a family to explore Edinburgh!

We are all completely in love with Edinburgh and Di's apartment is part of the magic. The apartment itself is gorgeous and the photos don't even do it justice. It is perfectly set up for our family of four, the kitchen is well stocked with everything thought of. The buses are a great way to get around if the walk up the hill is not for you (or if the kids have had enough) and Di's folder of tips was the icing on the cake. And last but not least it was lovely and warm even for we not so hardy Australians who aren't used to the Scottish autumn! Thanks again Di!

Quaint Apartment

The pictures posted for this place do not do it justice!! Beautiful apartment, cute inside! It’s clean, quiet and about a 15 min walk from the main streets of Edinburgh. Stairs getting up to flat are a little wobbly - so if you’re not great on your feet be careful going up! The host left us an helpful information pack on the day of our arrival,and did a check in mid way through our trip to see if we needed anything, which was nice! I would stay here again!

Edinburg stay

Location was great, we walked everywhere. Loved having 3 different bathrooms and 3 beds. The apartment was very spacious, and really enjoyed hanging out in the main living room, having coffee or tea and chatting.. The only drawback was parking. We has to park 20-30 minutes from the apartment, at 22 pounds per day, so don't recommend having a car and staying here. Everything else was great! So is a good host, very communicative. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Wonderful but parking description in listing not accurate

This was our first time in Edinburgh. The apartment was clean and spacious for two couples. Our host, Di, was welcoming and responsive to our questions. Everything we wanted to see was within walking distance. Our one complaint is that the listing stated that the apartment has "parking on site" which it DOES NOT. There is street parking outside the building and it is expensive if you can find it-- 5£ for four hours and then you have to move your vehicle. We chose this place in large part because of having parking provided which it did not. Highly recommend if you don't have a vehicle; if you do, now you know and can plan accordingly.

Great stay!

Our stay was great. We were extremely comfortable at 55 Cumberland St. it had everything we needed. The place was central to what we wanted to do in Edinburgh. If we didn’t want to walk, it was about a £7-8 Uber ride. We would stay again if we go back!

New town gem

This review might be posted twice. We stayed for five nights in November; two adults and two teens. The apartment was precisely as advertised. It was very clean, very well appointed. Check in was easy, the location is terrific and the owner Di is very responsive. Two bathrooms, in-suite laundry, well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. Round the corner from great pubs and restaurants and a tesco express. Will stay here again. Highly recommend!

Handy place to stay

We enjoyed our stay and were able to walk from the city in about 15 minutes - the downhill way. The flat was clean and had everything we needed. We cooked our breakfast daily and we’re glad to have a dishwasher to clean things up for us. My only caveat is that the flat is up a set of 100 plus year old stone steps that curve around and have been worn by years of feet. If you are not surefooted you will have a problem getting up and down

Great flat in a convenient location

The flat was spotless and had everything we needed. We found the location great for seeing the sights. It is a bit hilly so we paid £5 each for a day ticket on the bus which got us up to the castle and the royal mile and further afield. Also hopped on a bus to Leith which was well worth it. Highly recommended property and a friendly host. Thankyou Di!

60th Birthday in Edinburgh New Town

The flat was beautiful with plenty of room for 4 adults. The flat had everything we needed for our stay. The host Di, was easily contacted by email via Vrbo UK and responded quickly. Situated in the New Town area which was a short walk to the main sight seeing areas. There are plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from in the local area. Overall we had a great stay in Edinburgh.

Beautiful New Town Apartment

Beautiful, bright and spacious apartment in the best part of Edinburgh; close enough to all the attractions, but a peaceful residential neighbourhood on an evening. Added bonus of two bathrooms, which was handy for us, as we were two couples.

Great New Town pied a terre

This is a great apartment in which to have a "real" Edinburgh New Town experience. It's a really comfortable and well equipped flat. The location is brilliant and there are great shops and restaurants within easy reach. Great hosts who were very communicative. The hosts have prepared a comprehensive info pack. Would strongly recommend.

Why they chose this property

Warm, bright, comfortable and very central in a beautiful and very historic neighbourhood.

What makes this property unique

Central and full of character. The flat is surrounded by many bars, restaurants, antiques shops, art shops and galleries and many small shops offering everything from crystal chandeliers to speciality cheeses. Even though a few minutes away from all of these facilities, Cumberland Street is quiet so a good nights sleep can be enjoyed.
