About this house rental
Available from mid-August 2020 following extensive refurbishment to restore period features. This huge and beautiful apartment with stunning lounge bay windows is in a great part of town. Brilliant cafes, brunch stops, restaurants and pubs are only 2 min walk from my place ... and much cooler and better value than the centre of town! Five minute bus/car takes you to the centre of Edinburgh. Parking is in parking bays at the rear of the property - marked Pillars House Residents. There is also free on-street very close by.
The imposing entrance hall has a marble floor and grand staircase.
Living room
The living room is big and beautiful:with original wooden paneling, high ceilings, ornate cornices and sash-and-case windows. There are two large leather couches and 2 armchairs. There are two writing desk and a seating area in the bay window area where our B and O stereo is situated. Bring your old CDs!
Kitchen
The new dining kitchen is stylish and fitted with the latest high quality appliances. The dining table seats 6 people.
Main bathroom
The new bathroom has underfloor heating, bath and shower. The wall control allows you to set the temperature before you get under! I love it!
Shower-room
The shower-room is a bright space with a mirrored wall, white wall tiles and a slate floor. A heated towel rail ensures your towels (and you) are warm when you emerge from the shower.
Bedrooms

Great location close to green spaces for your pet(s) and not too far from shops, restaurants, and bars. This accommodation is very spacious with everything you need.
Would definitely stay here again.

Great large apartment for 3 couples. Lovely bedrooms, large sitting room and fully stocked kitchen. Best location for Edinburgh-
on tram line and close to fun Leith apartments.
Excellent host communication! Highly recommend!

Property was clean, amenities were great, location was great (on tram line to easily take you into new town and only a few minutes to the grocery store). Emma was great to communicate with. Recommended and would stay again.

The property was well photographed so we knew really what we were walking into. Having said that, the apartment still impressed us all and we instantly felt at home. The apartment was stocked with excellent kitchen facilities so we were able to self-cater easily, especially with the Tesco just around the corner. The beds were very comfortable and the other facilities (bathrooms, drawing room) were presented excellently. We used an app called City-Planner to figure out the public transport system and found the bus stop just a couple of minutes up the road - so in effect the old town is 20 - 25 minutes away worst-case.
Overall a fantastic stay, made easy and very pleasant by our accomodation. Can’t recommend the place highly enough.

Lovely apartment with large rooms, well equipped kitchen and modern baths. Great location, which will be even better once the light rail is up and running! Could use a few more linens (dish towels, hand towels) but the host could not have been more accommodating in getting these to us once requested.

A mid-week holiday
Edinburgh is again afflicted with tramline works. It took a couple of days to discover the best ways to leave and return by car to the property in Leith One good thing was the proximty of Tesco (open 'til midnight) - only a couple of minutes walk for everyday shopping. The car parking at the property is excellent - a real bonus. The apartment is spacious. Wwe were only three persons and it would take six (perhaps even eight if the settee is actually a studio couch). Everything needed to be self-catering is there. If one might offer some constructive criticism it is that none of the equipment in the kitchen had any written instructions on how it worked. The kettle was easy, but It would take a genius to figure out the ovens. We didn't use them. The microwave was sussed out by our fearless 14 year-old. But even he was defeated by the entertainment systems. The TV did not have a strong enough signal to produce a picture (and we had the aerial every-which-way). The radio-cd player is state-of-the-art but defied every logical attempt to get into it. Illogical (tending towards brute force) got it open. But it could not be used because 0000 was not accepted as the pin number to unlock it. Not to worry - we played chess every evening. Now there's a thought - a chess set would have been useful - fortunately we brought our own.
So, there were some frusrating aspects to life in the apartment. But who cares - it was Embro at JazzFest time. And that was great.

I would totally buy this property, if they would let me! Great location, great amenities, spacious and charming! We used this for a family get-away and all of us throughly enjoyed everything about this property. The hosts were very responsive. This will be even better once the tram out front is completed.
