About this property

Gorgeous Georgian apartment in the heart of Edinburgh's City Centre.

The apartment is beautifully decorated and is packed full of Scottish fabrics, original Scottish paintings and drawings, warm colours and heaps of personality. It's a great base from which to explore Edinburgh on foot, and once you're worn out from a great day of shopping or sightseeing there's a fab kitchen in the apartment and a wood burning stove for a cosy night in. For the more energetic just dump the shopping bags, get the 'glad rags' on and walk a few hundred yards to some of the best bars and restaurants that Edinburgh has to offer. After a few nights here you're almost guaranteed to feel Scottish and you certainly won't want to leave!
You enter the traditional 'shared stair' at pavement level and make your way up the original, stone steps to the apartment door on the 2nd floor (the top). There are two bedrooms; one very large and one large. Both rooms can be set up either as twin beds or double beds (Super King size and King size). The beds are naturally 'Luxury Hotel' standard. The master bedroom has a lovely dressing table with an illuminated magnifying mirror for the ladies.
There is a very well equipped large dining kitchen with oven, hob, microwave and everything you need to cook up a feast! It also includes a dishwasher, washing machine and digital radio.
The Lounge is beautifully decorated and features a wood burning stove and original fireplace. There is wifi, digital cable TV and a Bluetooth speaker for your entertainment and the side board is crammed full of fun board games for a lively night in! There is also a sofa bed available in the lounge for larger groups.
The bathroom is a warm and welcoming room with its large tub, big traditional shower head, stone tiles, warm colours and the all important under floor heating!

We were blown away by this rental. The space was exceptionally clean and equipped with everything we needed for our time in Scotland. It was centrally located and easy to get around the town. We loved the overall layout of the home. It was so nice for our family to be able to spread out after long days. I appreciated the welcoming gifts of bread, apples and chocolate. And, as silly as it may sound, it was nice to be able to keep up with laundry while on vacation. We purchased some towels locally, but if you do use a face towel to clean your skin at night, plan to bring some with you. Thank you for opening your lively snug up to us!

Superb apartment in central Edinburgh.

Apartment was very clean and spacious. One of the few with a king sized bed. Main tourist attractions within walking distance. Great pub across the road and wine bar next door. Host was excellent communicator and provided all the food basics and some special treats too. Highly recommended.

Love the location of this property. We went to Teuchters across the street for beer, Cullen skink, and sticky toffee pudding and to Fox & Co Catering next door for delicious coffee and a full Scottish breakfast. Walkable to Dean Village and along the Water of Leith walkway to Stockbridge, as well as to the castle and the Royal Mile. There are also several bus stops nearby. Not far from a Tesco Express to stock up the small fridge, but we were provided with milk, butter, bread, and apples when we arrived. There were a few espresso pods as well, so we were able to have a quick coffee and bite to eat in the morning. The bedrooms are large and my son didn't complain about sleeping on the pull out sofa (maybe because he actually got his own room for once!) so it must not have been too uncomfortable. The shower is nice, but the bathroom does seem to have some moisture issues. Some of the stairs in the entryway have been worn down over time and require careful navigation. Overall, we really enjoyed staying here!

Spacious apartment in great location

A large apartment ideally situated close to Princes Street and the castle. Great communication from the owner. Probably not best suited for anyone with mobility issues. Some minor maintenance issues but these did not affect our stay and the owner is to resolve.

About the host

Hosted by Maciej

Host profile image
I've been involved with property in Edinburgh for 12 years and have always loved Georgian and Victorian architecture with all it's grandeur! I have renovated and upgraded many original Edinburgh properties but the 'Snug' is my first Holiday Apartment and I absolutely love it. I live a short walk down the hill from the apartment in an old townhouse in Stockbridge with my wife Rebecca and our 2 little boys. If I ever need a quiet sit down I sneak off to the Snug and hide!! My father in law is a famous Irish poet (Michael Longley) and my sister in law is a well known Scottish/Irish painter and most of the books are Michael's collections and the art on the walls are Sarah Longley originals or sketch work from her bigger collections. Also, if you'd like a kilt made whilst you're here - my brother in law is a kilt maker!!

Why they chose this property

The West End of Edinburgh is a hidden gem of a place, full of boutique shops, delis, coffee shops, proper pubs and restaurants and it just so happens to be less than 5 minutes walk from Princes' Street. It's such a great location that as soon as I saw the apartment I knew it had to be shared! Doing interiors is one of my passions and I was able to cut loose on the William Street Snug with Georgian colour schemes and gorgeous Scottish tartans and tweed textiles and original Georgian walls are ideal for hanging great art!
