About this apartment rental
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 absolutely loved staying in this beautiful flat on our recent stay in Edinburgh. The location was perfect, a short walk to old town to take in all the events going on during Fringe but tucked just far enough out that we were able to get a sound sleep.
LOCATION: The street it is located on has the cutest shops and restaurants including a fantastic little wine bar below, a bustling café we grabbed breakfast at and a little wine shop and deli for some evening snacks and drinks. If we were staying longer we would have also popped into the florist.
There was a Sainsbury’s local right around the corner for basics.
There is a tram stop a very quick 2 minute walk from the front door.
FLAT: The flat itself is gorgeous and filled with natural light, it is beautifully and comfortably decorated, we loved the large-scale artwork, it felt like we were staying in a boutique hotel. It was also very clean and fresh. The shower was clean with excellent pressure, and the nice deep bathtub would have made a great spot to relax, if there had been time. The beds were very comfortable, especially after a long day of exploring the city. Having a washing machine and a dishwasher were appreciated features, the last thing I want to do on a vacation is wash dishes and the washing machine was an excellent feature for us on a multi-city tour. There were also tons of interesting titles to read and games to play if you’re looking to spend more time in the flat during your visit to Edinburgh.

Our apartment was bright and airy. We were greated with fresh cut flowers, bread, milk and butter-nice treat. Our beds were clean and comfortable. Our stay was for four nights. Our apartment was very close to all of the downtown Edinburgh attractions. A two minute walk to the tram.

After climbing three flights of stone steps we were delighted to find the most beautiful, spacious apartment, really close to the castle. It’s an old stone building with high ceilings and the flat is beautifully decorated with everything you need for a fantastic stay. It’s so close to everything including restaurants and shops. I Hope i get to stay here again!

Really pleased with the accommodation and felt it good value. Close enough to all . sites and amenities but in a quiet area, away from the crowds. Not having to buy things like washing up liquid, loo rolls, milk, tea and coffee, etc were a bonus. The property was easy to find and getting through the front door was hassle free. Public transport is about 100m away from the flat and is frequent

Had an amazing time with clan. We were 5 adults staying in this flat and it was perfect. Very clean and comfortable. Extra touches as we checked in were really a nice touch (milk, butter, bread and fruits).
Communication Was easy and the host was very accommodating.
Would recommend 100%.

So nice and homey, yet nice and updated with all the amenities you need. Great location; very clean and close to restaurants & sites.
We loved the flat overall! The bread, butter, coffee, fruit & sweets were an extra plus!
Just an FYI: Would not recommend for anyone with physical limitations: My 80 year old Mom is quite spy, but the 3 sets of steps were a wee bit difficult.

To say the location is perfect is an understatement! So perfect to be able to walk everywhere! You are above a wine bar and across the road from a pub but this did not affect our stay at all. Facilities were great and beds comfortable! It is on the top floor so if you are not good with carrying luggage up several flights of stairs this place is not for you. We loved our time here and hope to be back one day!

This flat was the perfect place for myself, my husband and our teenage son for a short stay in March. There was plenty of space, lots of essentials included and even a few welcome items like milk and bread. The flat is beautifully decorated and it was in a great location to explore Edinburgh and within walking distance to lots of shops, restaurants, and a little grocery store. A couple things to note - the pub downstairs can be a bit noisy at night and the flat is up on the third floor with no lift - although these things weren't a problem for us. Highly recommend!!

Spotlessly clean property, with interesting art in many of the rooms. Great location, easy walk to haymarket Station, and many of Edinburgh's attractions. Underfloor heating in bathroom was a nice touch.

Centrally located, nears bars and restaurants, groceries, and an excellent bus service. The flat is beautifully decorated and we felt at home. The Christmas tree and decorations added to the festive season and the finishing touches, such as fresh roses and a few groceries, were extra special. Highly recommended. It did take a little while to find as the streets don’t quite match Apple Maps but Andy’s contact put us right quickly.

Apartment amazing our only small criticism was there was no lighting on the stairs up to the flat and they were uneven steps so it was a little hairy but apart from that everything was perfect

Lovely flat with all the amenities needed. Great location with a tram station 1 minute away, but walking to the castle, Princes Street etc. is very doable. Clean and well furnished. A little bit of noisy from the street, but it is a city and we were fine with it.

This was a great flat in an ideal location for the city centre and main attractions. We (my husband and I, our children 12 and 14) had a lovely stay here to celebrate his birthday and the New Year. Really tasteful and we'll equipped. Edinburgh was a fabulous place to visit at this time of year. We particularly enjoyed: our meal at Wildfire, my morning run down past Simon's seat and Holyrood, the Real Mary King's Close tour and the Beach cafe and views at Portobello. Despite some bad (snobbish?) press, we also enjoyed the Christmas market (rides and food), watching the torchlight parade and the general buzz around the Hogmanay festivities. We spent New Year's Eve at a fabulous ceilidh at Lauriston Hall and then saw the fireworks over the castle. A wonderful way to see in 2020!

Wonderful place to stay
My family( my husband and two teenagers) and stayed in this flat for three nights while visiting Edinburgh. The flat was a short taxi ride from the downtown trains station, although we found out Haymarket was a five minute walk from the flat. We loved the proximity of the flat to Downtown , pubs and restaurants and the Castle. We walked everywhere.
We were also pleasantly surprised how quiet the flat was, given there are three pubs within 400 feet on the flat. All great places I must say.
The only issue with this flat for some people may be the steps. There are several flights, but the climb is worth it. We just thought of it as extra exercise.
The property owner was great to deal with and provided us with all types of information about the area! Nice touch.
We had a lovely stay in this flat and hope to return to Scotland in the future!

This beautiful apartment is just stunning! We felt comfortable from the second we walked in.
You can get to anywhere in Edimbourg very quickly. And the restaurants and boutique in the neighbourhood... just great! I highly recommend this apartment: the best I have seen in my last 6 years of travelling.
I would come back to Edimbourg anytime!
