About this property

Stylish Apartment in Edinburgh City Centre - License no. EH-68704-F

Leopold Place is a large (100 m2), quiet, city centre basement flat with small private garden to the rear. The front of the property faces south making the living/dining room bright and airy whilst the bedrooms are situated to the rear. There is a private front courtyard ensuring privacy from the road above.
The kitchen adjoins the living area and is equipped with Siemens/Bosch large appliances throughout (oven, induction hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine). Smaller kitchen appliances include microwave, cafetiere, kettle and toaster.
The dining area of the living room seats 4 but with the option of extending the table to seat 6. HD digital TV is at your disposal and there is a Bose Bluetooth speaker for listening to music.
There is a king-size bed (150 X 200cm) in the master bedroom with a double bed (135 X 190cm) in the second bedroom. A single bed in the master bedroom gives added versatility to sleeping arrangements or the option of sleeping a 5th person (at an extra charge of £60/night).
There is gas central heating throughout and on-demand hot water

The central location of Leopold Place means that everything is close by with the majority of Edinburgh's attractions within walking distance. Many of the venues for the Edinburgh International Festival are also within a short walking distance and the Playhouse Theatre is situated just 2 mins walk from the apartment. John Lewis department store, the new St. James Quarter and the Omni entertainment centre are also less than 5 mins walk away. Topping & Co. bookshop is directly over the road from the apartment.

Valvona & Crolla, arguably Edinburgh's best delicatessen, is literally around the corner.

Great stay in Edinburgh

This flat was convenient to public transit and within easy walking distance of all of the places we wanted to visit.The beds were comfortable, and the amenities met our expectations. The flat was surprisingly quiet, given that it was so close to street level.All in all, it was an enjoyable stay.

Feels like home

My family and I had a cozy stay in Edinburgh. It's a beautiful space in a great neighborhood that's walking distance to most things. There's plenty of buses that are convenient to use for further out destinations and a Tram stop around the corner that runs to the airport. I highly recommend this place!

Fantastic Stay

We loved staying in this spacious and sparkling clean flat. I wish we could have stayed longer than 2 nights. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided and Mark was very responsive and accommodating to deal with. The location was perfect and makes for an easy walk to most tourist attractions in the City. There were also some really nice cafe's and restaurants practically on the doorstep. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you Mark for sharing your beautiful property with us.

Great location, super cozy

The VRBO experience was best in class. Mark is an incredible host and communicates promptly. This VRBO is cozy and cute and quiet. The natural light coming through the windows is lovely. An ultimate Edinburgh experience. Very safe and close to good dining and the mall. There are coffee and bars within footsteps. The beds were very comfortable. There is a heated drying rack for laundry. The shower is very warm and nice! My family will stay here again in the future. You will love this VRBO!!! Do not hesitate booking. Cheers!

Spacious, well-equipped, very comfortable for a family. Could easily live there all year round. Just be aware that this is at the lower level (but not dark or dreary -- just the opposite!), but there are stairs that will have to be negotiated with your luggage.

Beautiful flat in central Edinburgh

This is one the most elegant and well-appointed VRBO units we've ever stayed at. Mark did a splendid job with furnishings and decor. It's centrally located, but because it's basement level and in a stone building, very quiet. We loved staying here, and we would absolutely do so again. Check-in, communication, cleanliness: all first rate.

Apartment in great location to explore Edinburgh city. Leith Walk is a very eclectic location, we loved wandering and trying many artisan shops . Comfortable house with well stocked kitchen items. Internet went off and we could not restore it - not a problem for us but many may find this awkward.

Wonderful!

We really enjoyed staying in this flat! It was in a great location, convenient to the tram and walkable to main sites of the city including the Royal Mile, Caldwell Hill, Arthur's Seat, etc. The flat itself was decorated very nicely. The flowers on the entry way and the back "garden" area were a nice added touch! Even though a basement flat, there was plenty of sunshine that flowed into the apartment. I recommend this flat to anyone staying in Edinburgh!
