Layout
The Kitchen is spacious with a good Dining Room table that sits 6. The Living Room displays big beautiful windows that capture every ounce of light shining on Edinburgh. The grand bedrooms, elegant design and spacious layout makes guests feel like divine royalty.

Exterior
The apartment is just 5 minutes walk from Princes Street, The Usher Hall, iconic concert hall and Fringe venue. The neighbourhood is one of the most sought after, being within minutes from The Royal Mile. With great eateries and local markets this area is bursting with great food, dive bars and local shops.
Local Area
Castle Terrace is ideally located a walking distance away from the shopping of Princes Street, the restaurants of George Street, the ambience of Grassmarket and buzz of the Royal Mile. Each of the main areas of Edinburgh ensure that you will never find yourself without entertainment, food or a good drink in many of the venues just minutes away from the front door.
For the fine diners, the Michelin starred restaurant, aptly named Castle Terrace, is just a few doors away. And for those seeking for more old style atmosphere, any of the pubs on the Royal Mile or Grassmarket offer fantastic, home made classics from fish and chips to steak and ale pie. We highly recommend the World's End on Royal Mile and the Fiddler's Arms on Grassmarket.
Just around the corner starts the stretch of Lothian Road, offering a number of cafes, breakfast places and pubs. Along the Lothian is also the Filmhouse - an alternative cinema. Just a little ways up from Lothian, on Home Street, is a the Cameo picture house, one of the oldest cinemas in Scotland still in use. Not too far away, on Leven Street, is the King's Theatre offering great theatre all year round.
And for a bit fresh air, the Meadows park is not too far away either, for that perfect afternoon stroll or summer day barbeque. During the Festival season, the Meadows is packed with artists and venues of all sorts. The Edinburgh Farmers Market is on every Saturday right next to the apartment, see URL for details http://www.edinburghfarmersmarket.co.uk/

Would highly recommend this apartment. It is so lovely and has everything you would need for your stay in Edinburgh. Very spacious and loved the 3 bed/bath layout. It’s quite pretty and located on a perfect street with a close walk to the castle.
5.0
This three bedroom apartment located right across from the castle was a perfect location for our stay in Edinburgh. It was clean and being on the Second floor only a few stairs up for an easy access. Having the 2 1/2 bathrooms was nice for the four of us staying there. The linens and bedding were all high-quality and the apartment is well appointed and very tastefully done. It was an easy easy check in and easy checkout as well. Would highly recommend.

This was such a wonderful property for me and my family. The extra large sitting room was a lovely spot to sit and visit and the kitchen was well appointed. We felt at home and spoiled all at once. And of course it was an excellent location. Winner!

Needed a place for a week while my wife was as in Edinburgh on business and then a long weekend. Flat was spacious, well equipped and exactly what we needed in terms of a kitchen and common area. Location could not have been better. Central and walkable to everything you needed. Some street noise but part of the charm. Only items missing were umbrellas and electricity converters…we left both behind for the next guests. Overall, you cannot go wrong with this rental. Would stay again without hesitation.

We couldn’t be happier with the apartment. It is very roomy, clean, and up to date. The property managers and owners are lovely folks and very communicative. The check in process was a breeze. The location of the apartment is perfectly situated within walking distance of all the cool things in Edinburgh, the castle and Royal Mile. I highly recommend.

This was by far THE BEST VRBO we've stayed at over the years and across the globe. We had a lovely time together. The hosts were pleasant to communicate with when making arrangements. We had no troubles during our stay. The linens were high quality. A Christmas wreath on the entry door welcomed us as well as a charming Christmas tree twinkling in the sitting room. The location was perfect--quiet, yet within walking distance to places we visited. We hope to visit again!

Beautiful home and well taken care of. The rooms are all spacious and no expense was spared. Great location to walk around city and beautiful views of the castle. It's the little touches that stood out for me like coffee, snacks, champagne and chocolate - even had umbrellas to use. They thought of everything!

This is simply a beautiful property - love the details - the molding, shutters, etc. So comfortable as well. Our family was very comfortable ❤️

We just spent the best week in Edinburgh with 2 other couples. This flat was absolutely perfect for the 6 of us. The property manager introduced himself as soon as I made the booking and was very responsive to my questions. They allowed us to check in a bit early which was a very helpful so that we weren't lugging bags around all day. (I realize that if the flat was booked the day before it would have been impossible for them to accommodate us so there was some luck involved - but I was grateful that they were willing to be flexible on check in timing as not all hosts are!) The location was amazing - so close to the Grassmarket and Princes St with a gorgeous view of the castle. The flat was beautifully appointed with everything you could think of needing and very clean. I can't recommend this enough to anyone traveling to Edinburgh with a group.

Great experience with the property. Lovely flat in a fantastic location within walking distance of so much that Edinburgh has to offer. It’s a nice wide street as well (good for pick ups & drop offs). Would definitely rent again.

Perfect stay
The apartment was very comfortable and had a warm feeling about it. It was spacious and very close to the castle and the Royal Mile. It was great to be able to do laundry and have a nice, easy breakfast before starting the day.

Wonderful bithday break in Scotland's capital!
We had a wonderful break staying at the Castle Terrace apartment. The apartment is a delight - very spacious with gorgeous high ceilings, well-equipped kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. The addition of a decorated Christmas tree in the lounge was a very welcome bonus. All in all a very memorable long weekend enhanced by the comfortable and homely accommodation.

Stunning Apartment & Exceptional Location
From start to finish, our booking and stay at this apartment exceeded our expectations. Siobhan was so kind, friendly and helpful. Upon arrival, checking in was a breeze which is always a relief after traveling. The apartment was clean, beautifully furnished as shown, comfortable and spacious. It felt like a retreat from the hustle and bustle of exploring each day. There were four adults and two children in our group and we all enjoyed the comforts of this apartment. The kitchen and living room both had spacious seating to gather and socialize. Truly, it was a magical stay, in the lap of luxury, with the most incredible views out the windows. I personally appreciated the gorgeous bedding, linens and extra blankets as well as the bath robes (in each room). The Nespresso coffee, and bottle of champagne upon arrival were such nice touches as well. Thank you for sharing such a special place with us! The comforts and ambience of this apartment made our trip so special. I hope my children always look back in awe of our stay in the shadows of Edinburgh castle. I know I will! Edinburgh stole our hearts.

Fabulous Stay in Edinburgh!
This apartment is absolutely gorgeous and very spacious. Our family of four was very comfortable and content! It is located in a great location with easy walking access to all the top sites. The apartment was very clean and well-equipped and we had no issues at all. It was awesome to stay in such a large, beautiful space and it made our trip more relaxing and enjoyable since we had so much space. We were able to use the kitchen to microwave food we had bought, and we also enjoyed the special touches like the gorgeous Christmas tree and the Orla Kiely toiletries. A great stay in a great city!

Elegant apartment in a superb location
Our two families are traveling through Scotland chasing Harry Potter. We needed a home base in Edinburgh to start our journey and our Castle View apartment was an exceptional launching pad. We were so comfortable in the three bedrooms (excellent linens!) and were able to spread out and enjoy both the living room and the kitchen. Our hosts thought of every little detail (e.g. 2 blow driers available) that made our stay feel like home. We really appreciated the early check in and the constant communication with the property manager. When we had a question, we were able to get a response right away. We highly recommend this unique spot and would absolutely return on our next visit.

Wonderful stay! Met my high standards, which is rare.
It’s clean, spacious, beautiful and has very nice high end finishing. It was clean and easy to feel like home. We loved the 3 bathrooms and their size was great for us. We appreciated large showers for Eu standards. The furniture was very comfortable and many high end finishing are throughout the property. The host was responsive and easy to work with. The kitchen is amazing- well stocked, large fridge/freezer, wonderful washer and dryer, a lovely large table. The design was also very nice. I loved the finishing and trim in the master.
The only suggestions we can come up with took a lot of thinking- might be nice to have a shelf in the showers, the website you must use to preregistration after full payment was a bit unexpected as it went to spam and was cumbersome once I finally logged it, and the hall for the flat is a bit dark on the first floor. Parking in the area is expensive. It would be nice to be able to buy a residence pass for the week.
We would definitely stay again if we wanted to be in the same location.

This property was even more beautiful in person!
This property was perfect for our family of six. We had more than enough room and the rooms were extremely quiet. We could not tell when someone got up early in the morning or if they stayed up late. The location was wonderful! We could easily walk to the Royal Mile. There were many restaurants to choose from near the apartment. We were greeted by David who was very friendly and helpful. He showed us around the apartment and was available if we had in questions. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic place!!!
Everything via the Edinburgh Address went very smoothly!! Anytime I asked a question or had a concern, someone would email me!! Communication was top notch!! Unfortunately, we even did encounter an emergency while there, and the concierge service was extremely responsive!
The place is extremely big and comfortable. Our party of 8 never seemed crammed into the space. The kitchen is always where we congregate and it's such a great big table!!
The beds very comfortable! Rooms were very spacious. The living room has enough seats for a large party!
The bathrooms were fantastic with heated floors and towel racks!!
For American travelers, it would be nice to have directions on how to use the appliances! The French Press coffee maker takes a bit to get used to. Also, we did see recycling bins all around Edinburgh but there wasn't anything offered for this apartment. Feel this is something very important.
It is centrally located to everything!! The Castle View is incredible!! You can walk to the tram and flag a cab nearby easily!
Overall, we had a great stay!! We would come again.

Top quality apartment. Very tasteful decor and all the comforts you could wish for.
We arrived early for a weekend in the Castle View Apartment. We had a 10 minute wait in the cold awaiting our key holder. This was soon forgotten when we stepped in to the warm welcome of our weekend home. As the other guests arrived we all had to choose a bedroom.... who would get the best room? Well, we all did! Every bedroom is tastefully decorated and luxurious. Only one room did not have an en-suite, but as there was also a family bathroom off the main hallway, nobody really missed out.
The living area had sufficient seating for all of the guests (6) to chill out and either prepare for our day out, or reflect on our time as we unwound before bedtime.
We chose to eat out most of the weekend, but, having had eoungh of city life, we had a lovely Sunday evening together around the dining table. We enjoyed the ambience of the kitchen / dining room. It was cosy, but large enough not to feel closed in. Later on Sunday evening we retired to the living room, where again we enjoyed the comfort of the furnishings and the atmosphere the room created with its high ceilings and quality wallpaper. And, of course, from the windows to the front of the apartment we had great views all day and night of the Castle and surrounding grounds.
The Apartment, did not only work in terms of its facilities inside. It's positioning within the city meant all the city sites we wished to visit were within easy walking distance. This was especially important to me, as I suffer from a painful ankle, having had a Club foot as a child. Even for me, I could make George Street in less than 10 minutes.
Although I live locally to Edinburgh, I would still gladly use this Apartment again. And, in fact, we are already planning a return trip, perhaps at a warmer time of year next time!!

Exactly as presented and impeccable service
The flat is lovely and fully equipped for short stays. The location is convenient to NewTown and safe for night time walking, also convenient to walk to Old Town and The Castle area for museums and galleries. Edinburgh Address personnel were tremendously helpful with very capable concierge arrangements and their own prompt handling of all our requests.

Beautiful apartment, amazing views and super comfortable beds! We loved it!
Overall a wonderful flat - absolutely beautiful! just a couple of small glitches - hard to get four showers in with all having hot water although I believe they fixed that - door to washer/dryer stuck and they should leave directions to that appliance. The main bedroom was a bit noisy as it faced the street and there was a great deal of traffic outside.
